I have placed a total of 5 orders with Alexey over the past three years. Never had any problem. He has always been dependable, and he has a great reputation. It does take about 2-2 1/2 months to get the pins however, since he has a backlog.

+1 for Balatsky pins. I have used quite a few and they are top notch. In addition he will make your custom design at no extra charge if your friend has a particular image or symbol he wants in the pin. He makes his pins in sizes from 8 mm diam up to 16 mm diam. I think he does have a minimum of...

Merry Christmas to all you knifemakers!

I like the profile....should make a good camp knife. What are the holes for?

I will take 24, 26, and 27

I'm in.

I got mine from Bill Behnke. https://www.billbehnkeknives.com/store/p/radius-platen It works well, and I didn't think the price was outrageous.

I have purchased from them several times, and I have not had any luck ordering directly off their web site. The web site looks good, but it always ends up saying that there is no shipping method available, and stops there. Strange, since I have received 4 shipments from them over the past 3...

It looks like one of these common oscillating tools with a sandpaper holder on the tool tip. https://www.amazon.com/BLACK-DECKER-BD200MTB-Oscillating-Multi-Tool/dp/B005AZI12O/ref=sr_1_31?dchild=1&keywords=oscillating+tool&qid=1628548759&sr=8-31

I have never tried potassium permanganate, but I have had very nice results using Majestic Maple stain sold by RW Wilson. It is chromic trioxide. A little goes a long ways, so try it out on some scrap first.

I bought one of the Chinese fine pole chucks off eBay to use on my SG. I think it was in the neighborhood of $250-$300 several years ago. I'm sure it isn't as precise or well made as a US made product, but it has worked perfectly fine for my use in knifemaking. The Chinese chuck strength is...

I plan to be there Friday afternoon and all day Saturday. I'll stop by and say hi to you guys.

That is a beautiful handle of ironwood for sure. Be aware that sunlight and oxidation can darken it over time.

EST here

I will be in Atlanta for Blade in a couple weeks

Well done! Looks great.

I'm with MTBob about not purchasing any Horrible Fright tools that have to be plugged in. However I do buy some cheap stuff like spring clamps. For me about 75% of them survive the first use, and I figure I'm still ahead cause they're so cheap. Here's a good article that explains HF in terms we...

So, OK, if they wanted to do something for April Fool's day, this would have been more appropriate...

I received an email today from a place called Maverick Abrasives saying "Your PO #3249 order confirmation". I've no idea who this is and I haven't placed an order. The email only contained ads for their disc abrasives. Based on this I would never place an order there, or with Combat I suppose.

Good looking knife, Daniel. How do you finish out your G-Carta? I like the material but sometimes I have a hard time getting a nice finish.
