Thanks guys. This knife is my go to blade when I hit the timber. Scott

Thanks Bob. It does take some time to grind one of these. Scott

I've wanted to make a 10" blade camp knive/chopper for awhile. Finally made one up about a month ago. It's 15" overall with a 10" blade, 1/4" thick by 2" wide A2 steel. Scott

I'm looking for a good source for jigged and worm grooved bone scales. I need 4 1/8" to 5" long and a minimum of 1 1/8" wide. Knifekits.com is one place I found. Anybody know of other sources I'd appreciate it. Thanks Scott

Yes, I do my testing on cardboard. I'm very impressed with 440C. Scott

I've been thinking of trying the Sanvik steel also. You might want to take a look at 440C. I've found edge holding to be right there with CPM 154. Scott

Wish I did live in Montana. Big timber is my way of saying in the woods. Hey Daniel, where do you get O7? Scott

My job I've worked at for 32 years is at a major food chain, Giant food of Md. Since going fulltime at knifemaking, I have since dropped back to part time at Giant. I stock at nite and probably have cut more cardboard, shrink wrap and plastic strap then most of you will see in a lifetime. My...

The wharncliffe blade on a fixed blade that is. You see them alot on folders but not as much on fixed blades. I'm sure there are fixed blades out there, it just seems they aren't talked about much. I recently made one as a work knife and I love it.
