Welcome back! Hard to believe you remembered your password! I can't remember them one day to the next thats why I have to come here everyday just so I don't have to!! LOL!!

I have a friend Aaroneous Blades that's all he does. He caters to the self defense crowd!

I agree to most of what you posted. But I bought Drill bits and as far as I'm concerned they are a consumable item so I will be buying more soon. If they work decent maybe from them, if not I can always go to Fastenall and spend more! But I was there they were on sale I needed them so I bought...

I haven't had much luck with Drill Dr!

I was at Harbor Frieght today they had packages of 7 drill bits in common sizes that I use for making my knives. 1/8" and 1/4" they had others but I didn't think to look at those because I needed the 2 sizes I listed! Anyway if I remember the 2 packages of bits were around $11 with tax! I was...

The patina looks like that mustard patina that everyone was doing a couple years ago? Definitely a hollow grind though!

Have a customer that wants a knife and wants the pins to be a Pearl finish on them. I can't recall seeing anything like that in my travels or recent searching. Closest thing I've come up with is the spots for fret boards on gutairs (very thin though). Anyone have an idea where to get an actual...

36-80 depending on size of knife, 180, 320, 600 then hand sand 600G to get the scratch pattern i like. Unless I'm making Damascus then up to 800. Rougher stuff I Forge 180-240 and then Surface conditioning belt. PS I do a lot of my sanding on a disk grinder to help flatten grind.

Can anyone give me an idea of what size needle I should use for my Singer 29-4. Obviously leather, leather point needle. I'm just not sure of actual size. I've seen things listed anywhere from 29-4 110 to as large as 29-4 160. Any help would be appreciated.
