Andre, how much longer and which soak? -thanks!

Unfortunately I do not have a way to check the hardness. A file skates cleanly over the edge. The knife was hollow ground on a 12" wheel. The edge at the chip is .007" and the back of the chip is .013" It seems hard, I was just surprised that it chipped out. I finish ground it after ht...

Ht'd some aebl for the first time. I ground before ht, and thought it wasn't holding an edge as well add i hoped it would. I stabbed some mdf and then pressed the edge on a copper rod. Kablewie! How tough should this stuff be? I followed a ht recipe from this forum exactly...

Thanks, Bill. I appreciate it. Yeah, the sharpening notch was done on a whim. I drew it up in Illustrator, and liked the squared look. I never really do many the same twice, so little tweaks here and there are fun to try. I have never made one like this will a fuller or even this big of a...

Those caddis are vicious killers!! actually, they are like trout candy. I fish them every time I get.... :)

I know not every knife has a story, but this one does. About 7 years ago my Mother passed away from cancer. About that time my brother and I really stopped talking. For lots of reasons, most pretty lame, but it happened. About a month ago, I got a message from him asking about how much one...

Test?

Yeah, I bet we could work something out. I'd just have to make another one, as this one is already sold.

This is headed out this week. An opinel style folder in 1095 and elk. Loosely based on Dumbledores km knife from harry potter. Thanks for looking! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Thanks man!! Yeah, any koa is good koa to me. Turns out, my Principal (my boss) loved it, as he spent tons of time in Hawaii. As soon as he saw it, he yelled, "Look at that Koa!!" I had no idea he had spent time there. It was pretty cool. He loved it. Thanks again!!

This is a short little skinner. It's got stabilized buckeye burl and brass components. The blade is w2 with a cool little hamon. Also, so far, my favorite kydex sheath. Hopefully it'll get to skin an elk soon! Sent from my D6708 using Tapatalk

Thanks! I put about 10 coats of CA glue on there, sand it back, do it again and then sand it out to 1200 and then buff. Its like glass. I know that most don't like the slick handle thing, but its the best way I've been able to make the wood show everything its got in it. That curly Koa just...

Made this for my boss. Its got a decent hamon, which is hard to see in the photos...of course. But it came out nice. The Koa I brought back from a trip to the big island a while ago. Thanks for looking! chris
