I used to post here pretty frequently but fell off of knife making for a while, now I need some semi-related help.
I work in a kitchen and have recently been given the task of taking over for our sharpening company (they are terrible). However since this is going to be regular sharpening for 3...
Just finished mine today. I just need to make the belt loop for it and it will be ready to go
Knife specs:
Natural Micarta handle
stainless pins
1095 blade
~3.75" blade
Just under 8" overall
I usually buy them from Tracy at usaknifemaker but they are currently out of stock. Does anybody know of a source for these or a similar belt loop that allows for the knife to be removed without taking off the belt?
thank you for any replies

After months of school and not having time to work on knives I was chomping at the bit to get started on a knife intended to be a gift for my grandfather. problems is I forgot to finish the wood that was going to be up against the blade before gluing it together. To make things worse I also...
I'm sorry to hear about this. Hope you get your health issues under control soon. I'm glad to hear you are not giving up knives completely and that you will still be around here. You have helped many people on here greatly including me and I am thankful for it.
To be honest I would just get some basic 10xx steel. You have already spent quite a bit on tool acquisition and from Aldo you can get a 4' bar for about $15 plus shipping. You can just buy steel that will last you a while so you don't have to bother finding more after you make one. If you are...
Hopefully I will be able to get most of the range of motion back but it is unlikely I'll get it all. Same story with the sensation because i completely severed the nerve its unlikely I'll ever get the same nerve density back. But I should be able to get it to a somewhat normal condition
The cut was pretty severe. I severed both of the tendons in the finger, the nerve and the artery.
Just so it isn't too graphic I'll post it after stitching it up before the surgery to repair it.
I'm very pleased with how this handle turned out and I'll definitely be using it again.

This was a fathers day gift for a friend whose girlfriend wanted to buy him one. The week before fathers day week end I had the knife finished but I needed to make the sheath, but before I did that I cut my right index finger with it. Here I am 3 and a half months later and it is finally...
that looks like a nice little hunter. You are the first maker near me I have found here. I live about an hour away from Fresno, nice to know I'm not the only one with this hobby around here.
