Terrific test. Thx for taking the time to test and post! Whodathunk that good ole 3-in-1 would outperform all those!

Knives with stories are the best- I'll bet he was pleased (or will be if he doesn't have it yet)! -thx for sharing it. That's an interesting sharpening notch- I've never seen one like that before (but there's a lot of things I haven't seen). Kinda fits the knife tho. I have a brother who...

Nice Touch!

Thx for doing this in the midst of all of the 'stuff'!

Count me in if it's not too late! (thx!). Address is: Bill Hubbell, 425 N Main Street, Hooper, NE 68031

I end up at that site regularly. Thanks, Raymond

Amazing!

Thanks for sharing, Ray. I have not made a knife in several months, maybe a year, due to pain issues and body breakdowns, and my available time being consumed by a power hammer project I started a year ago. That project I started as an investment in my knife making hobby is probably keeping me...

As some have said here, I would pretty much take it one step up from the Mapp Gas set up. If that's all your budget will allow, it's better than nothing- but not a whole lot better. And, actually, that dinky set-up will end up costing much more in the long run- for gas. I have had a large...

Thanks, Von Gruff- Good stuff!

I don't know if Ed has ever been accused of being a man of few words, but he sure summed it up for me. They say, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"- but if the maker doesn't see it that way, then out of respect, I would take the high road.

For me... if I would have known how much I would enjoy knife-making, and how fast my body was going to fall apart, I would have started the hobby about 20 years sooner. But that's hindsight for you, and I'm still thankful to be able to do what I do. I'm not whining, but more just admonishing...

Hey, Walt (Wall e)- Thanks for the collection of interesting materials! Just can't decide which to utilize first! -but I have a few ideas running through my head. I will let you know what it turns into. It's been a pleasure 'meeting' and interacting with you here, and watching as you...

Merry Christmas to you guys, too!

Amen! Thank you, Raymond.

Very nice work!

This morning's message really seemed to resonate with me. Our pastor lead off by stating that we can never understand the depth of God's love toward us, without first understanding the depth of God's wrath toward sin. Sin, our sin, brings us death, spiritual death. God hates sin (as should we)...

I tend to over-build- by choice. Pure Logic: Possible negative consequences of over-building: 1. spending more money than I had to. 2. spending a little more time than I had to. 3. ending up with a little heavier project than I had to. Possible consequences of under-building: Serious injury or...

What Bill wants for Christmas: I will like anything knife related! I haven't made a ton of knives-don't have any certain kind I like (well maybe I favor larger, more traditional knives). If I get something I haven't used or worked with yet- that's just a good chance to try something new! I use a...

Simple, but not so simple. I like how you've brought everything together for a smooth flow and color combinations. The hamon is perfect for the blade profile. I also really like the copper next to those scales. I have never used Kevlar-does it all have the wires? Also, am curious what you meant...
