VG10 is one of my favorite steels. It takes a very fine edge. Once again, they are lying. They did not trademark san mai. The description is accurate, stainless steel can also be high or low carbon.

I've been using Phoenix for years and am very happy. Sean Ryan and Greg Magnusson are great guys to deal with. I was going to order from Combat when they first opened up. They had 60 grit belts for $1 each. Had a couple hundred belts in my cart when I happened to talk with a friend that had...

Just a tip, most library systems have an online system for listening to audio books and reading ebooks. Totally free

I always wonder if I should publish this list, but I'm very open with people about my pricing. I think my pricing is cheap. I know it doesn't cover my time, but I make knives because I enjoy it, and I feel like I'm still learning the craft. I'm hoping to be good enough to supplement my...

Today I was working on a Brad Meltzer audio book. Music is great for grinding, but an audio is great for heat treat days or handsanding days.

Square closed my account and kept the funds in it. They refuse to give any explanation other than "violated policy". The only thing I was using Square for was selling handle blocks of wood. They have done the same to others.

Yes, anything that can be stabilized is. Desert ironwood and some oily woods are not. Anything spalted is stabilized for sure.

My logo is electro etched.

This is the first time I've made my Straight-back Kerry model as a chef's knife. The blade is 50100 high carbon steel with a full flat grind. The handle is a piece of heavily spalted maple.

Ed, what are your thoughts on the people that claim HAZ is not an issue at all because it will be taken care of during the heat treat. I think $6 a blade is dirt cheap when you consider the price of belts, your time and the material saved by a good nesting of your parts.
