This is why people pay Coop and others a lot of money to get great pics. If you're truly interested, there are a number of threads on various forums that give tips and tricks on how to take pics of knives. My neighbor (someone who does photography for a living), recommended spending $ on a...

Yes. Depending on the blade, make sure you're not diverting the viewers attention from anything on the blade you want to emphasize, though. If you're not familiar with Sharp by Coop, check out his pictures. He does a mix, depending on the blade. Oftentimes you'll see a combination of both...

A lot of makers use them as a quick way to flatten larger and wider blades/ (kitchen knives) after rough grinding the bevels on the 2 x 72. These can give a nice flat in one or two real quick passes.

Awwwwww.........

Is the personalizer still available?

Knife Makers’ Corner #9 with Phil Baldwin will be held Thursday July 22nd at 7pm PST. Master Bladesmith Phillip Baldwin will present his process for forging a knife from an iron bloom! CLICK HERE to learn how you can join the NWBA and gain access to our wealth of online events focused on forging!

Perhaps I wasn't clear, sorry. When I get to where I need to take "a little off the tip" so to speak, I hold the blade by the tang with one hand, and the other one is only used for applying light pressure to the blade where I need to remove material, not supporting the blade. Another thing...

My suggestion, then, would be to not waste time in trying to develop a website. Instead spend the time developing your craft and style. Make what you want to make and if the quality is there, you won't have any difficulty getting rid of them via word-of-mouth. Make a website, and you could...

So is the handle just resting on top of the tang? Good job on lining it up for the picture.

There's probably more folks out there than you know. I do almost the same thing, but use the corner of my index finger nail. There was a thread somewhere (I think it was here) a while ago titled "What grinds your gears?" and last year I almost made a post about grinding off my nail and the...

Another way to prevent that is to get away from using the work rest, at least for the tip of the knife. It does take a while to learn, and I'm sure that even after a few years, it's slower than using a work rest, but I haven't had that happen in years now. ;)

Hello all. Lately, I've been getting notifications on my account about threads that are updated that I have not posted in, have no interest in and have never even looked at. Today's example was the toothache thread. On my new-posts page, this thread had a bell icon indicating that I was...

113 currently. I'm interested to see how good 90 is going to feel on Wednesday. I'm currently thinking it might even be cool enough to fire up the forge. :rolleyes: Ummm....nevermind

Out of curiosity (not trying to derail the thread, mind you), does anyone know why I get notifications and e-mails about every update in this thread and this thread alone? I should only be getting notifications on reactions/folks quoting my previous posts. I am not watching this thread...

Ohhh, you don't know how sweet this looks to us in Portland these days.

And don't forget that the original list is over 10 years old, so some of those businesses are no longer around.

Looks interesting. What's the carriage made from (wondering if it will scratch up the face of blade at all). If I can make a suggestion, on the short demo video, re-do the scene slicing the bell pepper. The video shows someone slicing it using a sawing motion (back and forth 3-4 times) that...

Hi Mike. It should come with instructions...but I think once you click on the link, a window should pop up on your computer and you click something like "Open zoom window" or something like that.

Sometimes the demonstrators donate the piece they work on and it gets auctioned during the demo....

An edited version gets put up on the NWBA YouTube Channel a month or so after the live demo.
