Amazing the beauty of simple little things that make a knife stand above others. The I now see what you meant qhen you told me there will always be some small lines an voids if you look closely at the amboyna burl wood. Still is gorgeous.

Ty Sean, I have a habit of taking a pic every few massive steps to record my knives progress. It has been a trying time for me to make things balance, and with any hobby maker family and life have a tendancy to change the amount of time spend w knife making. My wife gave me a nudge to set up...

Not too bad, Im going to use resin on the next ones I do so their alot stiffer an less c a is used. If the felt fuzzes up you add a lil c a or superglue an it lays back down.

How could it not be a shed? It is a two sided issue that comes down to the basics of guilty till proven innocent or innocent till proven guilty Some time back some one really screwed it all up for the present situation with the white tail antlers down there.

My question for this dillema is deer shed their antlers so how is it wrong to use sheds as handles?

Life and home ownership has cut into my online time. Also my version of tapatalk has pooped out on me. Now am busy with my endless honey do's and sneaking in knife time, and getting my Yuk fixed and on the road. All of which have managed to keep me busy.

Soo true. MIL will not touch knives in our house for the reason of they are sharp. My wife has gotten to the point of telling me her chef is dull when she has to use a saw motion to get it cutting into a tomato. 6 to 10 passes on the ceramic back to the sharp cutter she loves. It is sad for...

Is a great plan but I was asked to not sharpen or make any for them because she knew my idea of dull is her idea of sharp. She doesn't want to cut herself.

That will happen for sure,since there are 2 in the works so far. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

I've come to work with you again As the belt dip line is slowly fading If I ground you true I would be sleeping. Now up the grits I am creeping Cause a smooth blade image is in my brain. Lol Had to have a lil fun since I upset the wifes apple cart and am taking a time to chill out and, "Oh...

Is a bummer about the shop time loss and the eye. I am amonst those who has the fortune of being able to wear contacts since small print and detail work whoops my butt. So I just use the safety glasses that come in a 5 pack for now but plan to get a full face reapirator in the future. As for the...

Thanks Brendan. As many have said over the last few years it is a learning process. I like the idea of the exchange and ironing out all details to the enth degree. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

Price point has been discussed and noted that is a "sale price" as she is the first customer from Florida for me. The factor of setting a price when it was nap time after working all night had a lil to do with it. The rookie skills mindset also had a part in my underbid. Is a learning moment...

Thanks Ed, Is gonna be the second one. I really already know I'm underbidding this one. I think I am gonna be in for a fun new realm of headache and joy. Lol John, Im building my 2x72 so I am still using my 1x42. .110 thick so is going to be a post ht as well as a lot of grinding. I was...

So my buddy was browsing my IG page before cooking class and his chef asked about a knife I made and used some of Smithy's oak he shared. I now have been tasked to make a 8-12" bladed chef in AEBL with a wa handle for her using some of the tiger wood I got from my buddy. I being of low...

Your off to a good start and are seeing the small oops or newbie booboos. Here is a oh shoot moment I had. I drilled holes to allow epoxy to flow through the tang to both scales as a bright idea and accidentally drilled a pin hole in the scale. Live and learn. Save the oops blades for learning...

Aldo seems to be the only one who has AEBL in 48" L others have it but in 12 to 18"L. You might try seeing if your local steel supplier can get a sheet of .070 and shear it for you in desired widths. Canadian knifemakers supply has .070 aebl razor steel in 2"widths produced by uddelholm(sp) I...

John, its an exact copy of the knife her mom has. I am gonna talk to her about it a lil more an see about doing away with it since its a pain to clean up in the small crevice by the transition of curve to straight. I wanted 070 for fillet and boning knives but Aldo was out at valentines day...

Speaking of charactered wood tossed in a fire, I talked a buddy out of burning some black locust an dropping a few pieces off at my house. It is really hard to keep all the pretty pieces. I found out that I burnt about 6 milk crates of teak because it was on pallets that I thought were crappy...

Another fine mess you've gotten us into Ollie! The rookie is pushing further out of the comfort zone. A bit thick but leaves room to fix screw ups. .110 AEBL 11.5 OAL 6.5 Blade chef knife the wife liked how her moms felt but hated it was dull. Gotta keep momma happy w my hobby. Lol Sent from...
