Hi guys,
So I've always loved knives ever since I was a little boy. And the last couple years I've been wanting to try to making them but I just recently got serious about it. I don't want to just jump right in with no idea what I'm doing so I've come to you gentlemen.
I'm going to do my research and order books and stuff before I try to make a knife but I want to try re-scaling some of my folders.. I want to use G10 and maybe some micarta.. How hard is it to work with these 2? I heard G10 can be VERY hard to cut. Would a dremel with a cutting wheel work? I heard a coping saw does pretty good?
I want to make a Home Depot trip today, what do y'all recommend I buy?
I heard I'll need a P100 respirator? What brand or model would be best?
Should I buy sand paper?
Files? What files would work best on the G10, If any. And what should I get for filing steel?
Sorry about all the questions. I'm a college student with a lot to learn about knife making but I'm VERY determined.
Thanks guys!
Kevin
