Beautiful wood one of my favorites

I have heard this debate for a long time, obviously it come down to preference and personal style. For me, I learned with WD-40. My reasoning to continue using it is that as you are handsanding you open the surface pores in the grain, at least to some degree. I would rather have something that...

Looking Good, can't wait to see it finished

You might try having one cut out for you on water jet. Then and the holes or slots

I received Sean's Knife and finally got time this morning to mark it for him. To Sean; I know you were working under family pressures and a bit out of your comfort zone and I just want to say that I appreciate all the effort that you put into making this knife for me and I am proud to be the...

That Sir, is a thing of beauty. ....as I shout from the other room " Honey, I can't help with the garden this weekend, I gotta make this thing that I NEED!"

Good to hear your wifes home, please wish her a speedy recovery

The rounded one reminds me of a Japanese vegetable knife. I have 2 and wouldn't trade them for anything. the wood handled one I picked up in Okinawa 30 something years ago and use almost daily

Hey Sean, knife talk aside how is your wife doing? Has she been able to come home?

Also the texture is a stamp that I got in a kit but you could easily make one with a dremel and a big nail

Yes it is worn under the belt cross draw fashion. Here are a couple photos from the net although the artist has it upside down, but to each their own.

Going in the mail tomorrow. I decided to go with a mountain man style sheath. Overall I really like the final design and feel and will most likely make a few more (I mean knives not the sheath, I have made several of this style sheath, although I'll probably make the sheath too) . Sean, I hope...

Looking good!

Finally ready to make the sheath, blade is forged 6150, handle is desert ironwood. I started out with some curly maple that unfortunately kept clogging my sandpaper and apparently had not properly hardened when I stabilized it, off it came and I grabbed a set of cherry scales, again...

With a propane forge the temperature is going to keep rising unlike in an oven with a thermostat. Here is a very non technical explanation of what has worked for me, your milage may vary. Cycle the steel three times by bringing it to non magnetic and let it cool until the red is not visible in a...

Good morning Sean, sorry for the late reply. First give you wife our best wishes, family first always. I am in no hurry, I just finally got my knife done to a point that I can start the sheath. I went through 2 sets of handles before I got to this point. I'll post so.e pictures later today. The...

The last couple of months have been tough for me to get any time in the shop, but finally last weekend I got to work in the forge and although it took 2 days before I was satisfied with the profile, I finally got this profiled and ready to work at the grinder. Not shown was a photo of the...
