Rules of Knifemaking (Just for fun!)

[AkWildman]

Don't use red as a photo background,knives look horrid on a red background !

 

[percy]

You must be on a first name basis with and EMS or someone in the emergency room to be a full time knifemaker

 

[AkWildman]

Keep your hands in your pockets and avert your eyes don't even chance a look at the scrap bins contents and run away grasshopper run away as fast as you can.

 

[TacticallySharp]

You must make 20 high carbon (LOL) RR spike items without any of them being a knife before you can call yourself a knife maker.

The day you make a RRS knife without a HC steel core you are a letter opener maker.

 

[N.N]

your facial hair will rust, remember to wash your beard after grinding bevels

 

[AkWildman]

No shoddy workmanship then call it distressed or old school.a craftsman of old would be ashamed of that shieve knife kinda looking thing with those distinct whorel side grinder marks ! And bbq brickets do not = charcoal !

 

[AkWildman]

Always look down when your feet feel warm or you smell hot rubber.

 

[AkWildman]

We have all seen Denzel Washington chop a guy's arm off,Don't claim your knife would be great for chopping someone's arm off as if your a expert at arm chopping off unless you have chopped off at least one arm.

 

[Matt de Clercq]

1. Just because your cussing with a respirator on doesn't mean your Nieghbors, wife or children can't hear you.
2.Realize when people are trying to help you and help others when you can.
3. If you have to use the clothes dryer to do a stone wash finish, take all necessary precautions.

That's why I use stainless and I have a silver beard.

 

[Wayne Bensinger]

Make sure you have all your fingers each and every time your done on that damn band saw, those parts can be so small, I love/hate that machine,LOL!

 

[C Craft]

No matter how hard you look, your glasses will always be in the last place you look!:what!:

 

[wall e]

Knowing how many directions to put strips of duct tape over the superglued cut counts as stitching only if it stops bleeding?

 

[J. Hoffman]

The minute you know you have it under control, you don't!
The buffing wheels are good for this.

Im guilty of violating this one,I didn't know knives looked horrid on a red background.
AkWildman,you should avert you're eyes.:biggrin:

 

[Sampson knifeworks]

Rule # 4 At a knife show, never ask your fellow knife maker where they got there chrome plating done !
Rule #5 At a knife show never pass around a bucket of fried chicken, then pass around a gritty impregnated polishing cloth !

 

[Freds Edge]

You will never have all the tools you need or want or think you need and want.

 

[Mark Behnke]

Improve your work destroy your sanity, use an optivisor and take pictures on the macro setting.

 

[PMARTINKNIVES]

Do not make folders that look like bugs or the aftermath of an industrial accident unless your name is Peter Martin. Because nobody does it as well as he does.:biggrin:

Never take on a Bug Knife or Steam Punk folder build unless you have at least 3 months of bill money set aside, you will need it by the time your done!

 

[J. Hoffman]

Before you spit, remember to remove your respirator.
