Here's a linerlock I just finished, Alabama Damascus, jeweled titanium liners with decorative filework, Desert Ironwood scales, stainless bolsters and screws, titanium thumb bob with gold plated screw. Thanks for looking!

C.D., here's the Alabama blade I just finished. this folder was wrapped in a towel and put away last year, I made a blade for it out of Vegas forge stainless Damascus that came out looking really good. unfortunately, when I cut the lock face on the blade I cut it for a left hand folder. by the...

I took mine with me when I retired and I wear glasses. Like Sean said it will depend on your frames, with mine I had to tuck small pieces of rag or paper towels around were it contacted the frames or sand and dirt would blow in but that was in really bad conditions. In a knife shop you might be...

Will do, I'm heat treating tomorrow but it'll be a few days before the knife is actually finished.

As for neutralizing with windex, I don’t know that windex even has ammonia in it anymore, I can never find it on the labels anymore so I bought a jug of ammonia and add it to windex to make sure. Half the time I mix up some baking soda and water and swish the blade around in that.

Sorry for the sideways picture, that’s the first time I added a pic from my phone here and surprised it even worked. I usually leave the blade in for about 4 min. Check with an extension magnet if good I leave for another minute or so. I quench in parks 50 for a short time then go to aluminum...

Here’s Brad’s directions.

Is it Alabama Damascus?

Man, that's an awesome looking folder John!

That’s a really nice looking knife right there and that spine engraving looks great. You better make sure your nephew is sitting down when you hand him that package.

No blueberries? bleah! for shame Dennis.

That’s a nice write up and photos on a great looking knife Dennis.

You can also make dessert ironwood cookies with that oven.:D

Yea, I have to get more colored thread, all I have right now is white and red.

Not a sheath but it's leather so I figured it should go in the knife sheath forum. this is my first 1911 pancake holster, it has an Elephant hide overlay on the front. I'm using patterns I'm drawing up myself so I'm still learning how to do that right. the next one I'm going to move the...

I don't know anything about the Tippmann other then reading reviews from other knifemakers and leatherworkers, none of which were steller. I hand stitched for 30+ years and the last five or so started looking at machines. the first was the Tippmann and I searched high and low for everything I...

That's some really nice looking filework on that backspacer John.

Congrats CD, it'll be 37 in June for me but we lived together for a couple years before. even bought a house together before we were married! long marriages are rare nowadays.

Thanks Ken, here's a picture of the bottom. the vacuum pulled it partially closed. it started as just two flat pieces of leather. I've been wearing it for two days now so it's showing some wear now.

Thanks Kentucky, it started out as two pieces of flat leather from a paper pattern I drew out of the gun, then I stitched it up with a relatively new to me Cowboy 4500 sewing machine. then I submerged it in water for about four seconds, pushed the gun in -wrapped in cellophane- then put it in a...
