Yeah. It kinda works in the same way. Comes in handy when you do something stupid. :)

Thanks Bill. I just told Bob I couldn't remember where I got it and your post awoke my poor memory. Got it from Jantz.

I bought it Bob. Can't remember where but they are readily available at different places.

It's a major pain refinishing a blade with the handle on that's for sure. I have one of these vices and it makes it a little easier. Blade was finished at 1000 grit. Had to step back to 800 to clean it up and then back to 1000. It's shiner that it appears in the pic.

The only bad thing I can say about that knife "It's not mine". Great profile and craftmanship. Nice job!

Welcome to Knife Dogs. Glad to have you here!

I tried to blame the dog for my mistake but he wasn’t having it. :)

Welcome to Knife Dogs!!

It's spruce pine cone and white resin. I bought it on Etsy. Came from a vendor in Russia if I remember right.

This year's auction knife sold for $800. I'm happy. :)

When I do my handle work I wrap the blade in a WD40 soaked paper towel and tape. Grabbed a towel off the bench not realizing it had Ferric on it. I managed to save the blade but it was a lot of extra work for fifteen seconds worth of stupidity.

Hi Bob! I don't dye them myself. I buy them from a couple of guys on Instagram. Gulf Coast Blanks and Exotic Blanks. Both guys are great to deal with and have quality products.

Sheath was done by JT Leather in Rio Rico AZ. Leatherwork is something I’ve played around with but not enough to get good at. I let JT handle that. :)

I like using dyed woods. It can be really nice when you find the right pieces. It's not all created equal. That's for sure.

Taking this one to a charity auction tomorrow. Alabama Damascus with dyed white cedar. Orange liners and brass pins. This one sold for $950 last year. Hoping to do well again this year.

I like that a lot Bob! Some really nice work on that handle.

Thanks. Really good information! I use a #30 on 1/8 pins and a "F" on 1/4 pins and they fit great. Just trying to get the same fit with metric pins. Out of curiosity I just measured a 6mm pin. Should be .236 and it measures .232. That's an .008 difference with a #73 bit. Might just need to get a...

Looking at some 6mm and 8mm pins. 6mm=.236 a #73 bit is .240 8mm is .314 a #67 is .320. The #73 looks like it will be fine not sure about the #67. What do you guys use or recommend?

A lot of really nice stuff Alden! I especially like that vintage micarta. Gorgeous.

That Ironwood is about as good as it gets. Beautiful knife and well crafted. Nice job!
