Just picked this up. I don't think the guy knew what he had or it's possible it's a knock off? Beautiful Knife either way super excited

1st happy holidays everyone hope all are well and safe. Just to let anyone know who might be interested I just got an email the other day (and placed an order for) Paul's new DVD. It's about makeing folder cases. I have Pauls other DVDs (terrific stuff) and I'm glad he decided to make another...

When fixing Photo links for some of my old posts by request of a member I noticed I never showed off my new cobra.... Did some custom mods myself (just cosmetic) Well I guess this Rosewood draw is not just cosmetic ( no making fun, I'm not much of a wood worker)

I started this one before I watched Paul's new DVD, so I had to guess how to make one. Here's what I came up with

I got a lot of new toys over the past few months, I'll show a few. The first is one that I think might be the excalibur of head knives. Custom 52100 blade forged to shape, with sheep horn handle and Mokume bluster's made by none other then Bill Burke.

Just to et you all know Paul Longs new DVD is out " tips from the master" it very good Before making it Chris sent out a email asking for suggestions of things to cover. It was very cool that Paul managed to get in all of my suggestions/ questions into the DVD. I was not expecting that, was...

I do a lot of my knives on a belt sander (modified for knife grinding) but have never done a round knife this way. Anyone here sharpen round/head knife this way? Seen any YouTube videos or any others? @Better yet a video of a knife maker makeing one? @

The difrance a good ( or even so so) sheath can make. I listed this knife 3 times on eBay with no reserve and no one bought the knife, not one bid. So using my new and undeveloped Paul long skills I learned from his vids I put this sheath together in only a few hours and what do you...

After keeping my eye on eBay for a year or so and lousing a few bids along the way I finally scored me a splitter. It was in kind of bad shape and pretty rusty so I decided to restore it. I took it apart and cleaned the rust and old paint off using a steel brush and sand paper for the big parts...

Look what I just won an eBay It's a singer 29-4. It's from a shoe shop that I new and have been to. So one its close to my house so no shipping, but more importantly I know the machine is in good working condition So you guys got any advice, bout the old singers or just tips for a user new to...

Hay guys I finally scored a sweet 10" chase style splitter on eBay, picks later. But as you may have guessed the blade has seen better days, years of miss-sharping. This blade does not look that complicated to make? 10x1.5x1/8th" steel beveled 7/8th of a inch out from the back side to the edge...

A thread on another bored got me wondering, who many of you di it full time. I.E don't have a day job and pay the bills making knives and or leather goods? I never thought you all made 6 figures doing it but I did think it payed the bills?

Any of you know a maker who might make me one?

What size do you like/use? I would think a 6" would be best but thought I would check 1st. Also the Osborne #106 looks to be the best?

Any of you use your left over leather scraps for anything?

... before you got good at it? I started working with leather just about 3 years ago. In that time I have made 12 sheaths, 2 belts, 3 cases and a money clip. Now my skills have come a long way in the past 10 months thanks to this board, better tools, Chuck & Paul's DVD's. However I would by...

I made this Sheath for a Custom Murray Carter cleaver of mine. BTW This is the 1st Sheath I have made after watching Paul's DVD, Sheath # 9
