    What's going on in your shop?

    Here is the drop point I've been working on after I dipped the blade in 50/50 Ferric Chloride and distilled water for five minutes. I'd say there's definitely Hamon activity but kind of blotchy. After dipping I went over it with 220 grit again. I'll keep going and see how this turns out at about...

    The Laser Thread

    Still waiting on my laser. I did notice there are numerous "extras" that I'm sure I will need at some point. :cool:

    My first attempt with a Hamon. This is with most of the carbon removed with 220 grit. So I don't know if what I'm seeing is a Hamon or just more carbon that needs to be removed. I'm also not all that certain about my heat treat. It seems OK. but I really don't have a way to measure it. Most, if...

    2 100K Atlas Burners

    Basically this. Also you want the burners to be just shallow of or just slightly inside your lining. What ever your lining happens to be. Here's how it looks on an Atlas forge.

    How Many Knives at Once...

    I tried doing five at a time once. It's not for me. I might do two at once. But never that many again. Three of those are still sitting in a drawer to be finished.

    I bought a laser engraver/cutter

    Ortur had a LM2 10 watt on sale for 329.00 which I just bought. 4 dollars more than the Personalizer Plus etcher. Down the rabbit hole I go. Should be here towards the end of next week.

    Bocote Chef knife almost done. Just needs to be sharpened and logo applied. This is my first convex grind blade. It turned out pretty good. Now on to a couple of fillets and a small hunter for my step-son

    That's one hell of an offer Chris. But yep cash is king at the moment.

    2 100K Atlas Burners

    Thanks for the offer. I'll see how it goes as I would prefer cash. But a knife is always cool!

    2 100K Atlas Burners

    I have two old style 100K Atlas Burners for sale. I bought these originally to build a two burner forge. But I've decided to stick with stock removal. And I have an Atlas Knife forge for small work. I'm asking $50.00 for both. Thanks

    Scandi Hunter

    Very nice!

    I bought a laser engraver/cutter

    That's my thought as well. I couldn't justify the price for just marking my name on my knives. But as you say, it's a very versatile tool. You can etch and cut many different items with it.

    Chris and Chris thanks for the feedback. I may have to wait a bit until I have the funds. But I'm pretty sure this is the way to go.

    I bought a laser engraver/cutter

    Thanks opaul. That's certainly less expensive. And yes for now just etching my makers mark might be the least expensive way to go. I do like the looks of these laser machines though. And as it turns out the re-furbished unit I was looking at was European 220. I can't use that. Though I'm sure...

    I bought a laser engraver/cutter

    A bump to this thread. My home built etching machine just died. I had put in a new transformer and I ended up with smoke instead of an etch. Boss Dogs etching kit is over $400 and it looks like I can get a factory Pre-owned Ortur for the same. Sounds like a no brainer. However a few questions...
