Looks good Ted. This is an area we all struggle with as the visual is often all that people/potential customers see without hands on exposure to our knives so any improvment to our pics is a wim for us a. Thanks to OP we may all take something from this

Giday and welcome to the K D forums. The ony stupid question is the one not asked so ask away as you learn and there will always be someone here to give you a good sound (and proven) answer that you can put into your own practice, (or store away till you need it)

Zero edge Chris. I take it there with a wire edge and use stones to finish it off.

These are three I did for a repeat customer with his supplied wood walnut, rosewood and olivewood with brass on .156 1095 scandi ground blade. I forgot to take pics before sending them off so coppied the pic he posted on the forum when he recieved them this week.

Blades handsanded and etched this morning

Made some more progress today with the jigs finallised and the first prototype sorted out. I had made a couple of boxes with mitered corners as it was quicker but will dovetail the actual boxes. I need to change the bearing from the 34 inch to 1/2 inch to suit my dovetail table. This is how it...

Have my router back in working order now after picking up the new steel collar. I asked him to make it with a much smaller collar for the 6mm bit so with a 9mm hole and a 14mm outside dia, I ony have a 4mm standoff as opposed to the 15mm standoff for the nylon collar. This is as I recieved it...

It is quite simple to get a flat with the chainsaw if you are reasonably competant and even if you use a bench planer to get the second flat from that although if it takes a lot of runs over the bench to do it and then you have somewhere to start from. It is the initial cut with the chainsaw...

Have these four all ready for hand sanding and etching(2 random and 2 ladder pattern), and hope to pick up the router collar tomorrow and a new dovetail cutter to move forward with the boxes. Ground a pair of field scalpels and a tool I hope to use to shape the 1911 grips with so they have been...

I use the cahinsaw on a chalkline along the side of the log to create a flat and then that flat to get one side square to the flat and then using these two flats I can use start to square the log and start to break it down. Larger diameter pieces I will create a flat either side of the heart...

Love the combinations on the handle OP, oh and the rest of the knife and sheath is good too

I spent a couple of days making jigs so I can do the box inserts to hold the knife, pistol and mag and had them all just right when the nlyon collar on the dewalt rounter base let go and I ruined one of the jigs, so am getting the engineer to make me one all in steel which will put me back a...

Yep, that'll work

After further discussion with Shane from Kelly country I am going to do the three knife handles and 1911 grip sets in different woods as a "this is some of what we can offer example", so after the call, I had a time of reflection on the different wood colours and it seems that they may be best...

There are two more boards there the same that I might just have to grab as well Jessie
