I just ordered some blank black anodized aluminum business cards... Gonna laser my own authenticity cards - so I don't have to hand write them lol

Quick wip video showing the different aspects of making a reblade (or other folder blade)

Try the TRM neutron, it's a sweet little folder on pb

I wonder if you could do a deep etch then put some sort of black enamel in it, sort of like what people who do hand engraving do?

Yeah I agree with the above... I do my plunges with no radius on my platen edges, makes it crisper imo

I just used my bandsaw... Was a little chippy when I cut and when I milled flat but the final Sanding removed all that. You just have to leave enough extra to sand down haha

Just finished up my first tapered tang!

That looks amazing, still have no clue how you manage that! Reminds me somewhat of JB Blades knives where he carves veins in them! Check out this piece... You can see the carving he does, similar to yours just more involved I suppose. Yours looks killer though on that one you finished recently!

IMG was my favorite before I got a laser

Welcome to the KD forum! Do you make knives too? or use them each day to make delicious meals? :)

Absolutely beautiful John! The theme flows so well together. Can't imagine how many hours you have into this build... That backspacer alone had to take forever! Nice work!

Oooo yeah I bet not! How did that happen?!

Welcome to KD! Nice looking folder! That lock is interesting, is it a shark lock (demko design), super lock (scnecx design), or something different you came up with on your own?

Yeah milling sucks with crocs... But everything else works well :)

Looks great! Seems pretty reflective right now... But I agree a satin finish would be nice on that one too. And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who works in crocs :D

I've reground a couple of those blade styles... It was developed by Tom Brown in his Tracker knife (for bushcraft) if I'm not mistaken. One important thing to pay attention to when grinding is the transition... Don't do it like they have it in the pic or it will snag and not cut an thing...

That's awesome! Wonder if you've seen Kyle Royer's latest knife with a stone handle? Some ideas in it could help you

Did you grind those hardened this time again? They look great though!! Nice work

Hmmm... Does it only happen with certain belts? And if so which belts (and grit level) did u you experience it on? I also wet grind and most 120 grit ceramics tend to want to cup out at the edges, causing the outer edges of the belt to gouge into the blade when you first make contact.

It just takes practice... Subtle changes in pressure to get what you want. Also you need to make sure your platen is flat that can cause some issues sometimes, although I don't think it will cause what you pictured.
