Very good, thanks Jim!

Working on a deal with Gameco getting a case of them for you guys down there.

My load of books FINALLY arrived. Folks like Randy who ordered in the last two weeks, books will ship out Wednesday.

One step closer.... Finalized the cover proof yesterday, so it's off to the printer.

Going to be alot of surprises :) Most of the folks in there don't know they're in there. If you had a knife shot by Coop, Cory Martin, or Caleb Royer, there's a decent chance.

Here are a few page previews.

Some should be arriving. Share which tip you like best :)

Good deal, thanks Mark. I’m getting Facebook messages and texts that the ones I mailed out Monday and Tuesday are arriving today and lots of places. Fun times!

Here's the promo page from Gun Digest that has the intro text, some interior pics, etc. But you should buy from Boss Dog or me, lol. https://www.gundigeststore.com/product/knifemaking-hacks-384-tips-to-make-knives-like-the-pros/

MSRP is 29.99.

Folks, glad to announce that my new book, Knifemaking Hacks, is finally ready! The book features 384 knifemaking tips and over 100 professional pictures of some of the best knives in the world. They're available autographed from me directly, at www.frycustomknives.com/my-books and are also...

I've been pushing my limits on damascus and forging, but then I got a Christmas order for three folding knives. Since I'm doing three, figured I might as well do some more. Right about the time I was ready to work on them, one of my kids tested positive for Covid, so I got a bit of time off...

Custom order for Jim, who was very particular about what he wanted. Damascus, stainless bolsters, and amboyna. I did a 140 layer ladder, but it stretched out a little far in the forging. Still an interesting pattern.

Yeah, Damascus would be a good one for him. We intentionally tried to stay away from direct how-to chapters, although there are a few.

John Gulso wrote a chapter about lean manufacturing principles as applied to knifemaking. Kind of a philosophical chapter about how to increase your productivity. For those who've been around a while, Salem very early on had a good set of reviews of various grinders. I had him write a...

I hope it is :) This is the first solid anthology in the industry that I'm aware of.

Howdy folks. I just got my PDF layout proof for the upcoming book I edited, Next Level Knifemaking. Knifedogs' own Tracy Mickley has a chapter, as does Kd regular Ed Caffrey. I edited, plus contributed 5 chapters. Other chapters by Jim Cooper, Lin Rhea, Nathan Carothers, Bob Ohlemann, Salem...

I've mostly posted this in other places, but thought I'd show off the final product over here. This knife has a bunch of cool history. The blade is 1836 layer Damascus, after the year of Texas' independence. The blade contains nails from the house of Madam Powell, where the Mexican army...

In between working on Damascus and bowies, I do some stock removal knives. This one is D2 steel with mirror polished and dovetailed 416 bolsters that cradle a nice set of mammoth tooth scales. OAL is 7 3/8" with a 3 1/4" blade.
