The knife on the left is a knife that Walter Milton made for me 3 years ago I used it to gut and skin half of this Buffalo switch to 2 different commercial knives after which I only skinned about a quarter of the buffalo before they dulled. I switched back to this knife. And finished up the last...

Sounds like a delay in the game. Sorry about the bad timing, not that there is ever a good time to plane your fingers.

Hahaha that is the truth. There is one member on here that puts his name down the spine of his blades and it is a way to set you apart from others. I am woth Ed, if I had attempted to make the stamp it would have a disaster for the first couple of pieces. Good job on the creative work. There...

A little more info, I got started in this lil hobby by my grandfather and he saw the finished knife and compared it to my fifth knife that I gave him and he is tickled to see the huge inprovements in my work.

Copy, the ones I got are the bulb looking LEDs.

Those sure are perty Ty, am a bit envious of the hamons. Burls are always a good choice in my eyes.

Did you get the bulbs or the 40.00 4 ft light? I have 3 of the 4 ft LEDS and its amazing. A 4th one is centered above the grinder for now.

I had 8 yrs worth before we moved. Feel the pain. Keep us posted on the shop

Thanks Andrew. She saw it before christmas and was exstatic.

A little C A glue to prevent the felt absorbing from absorbing all the epoxy. Then my usual gorilla glue. May try using resin in the future.

Been a chaotic couple of weeks this thing had me so pissed at one point I was about to throw it across the shop and give up. Then I thought about the month of on an off work that would have been wasted. So I took a break and worked on the sibling to this one. Regained my focus and sanded the...

Welcome back Fred. Glad to hear your back to being mobile.

Hahahahahahaaaaaaaa sneaky and wise.

Exactly and the 18.00 is a bonus. You got the joke as it was intended. I do not aim to make a massive source of money but more was asking if as a hobbyist and a beginner that was the reasonable pricing? Not meaning to thread jack just attempting to create a visual for me to show I understood...

So as a hobbyist maker who is about to start making knives to sell in a buddies military surplus store, this knife with about 11 solid hrs into it should be priced around the $125 area? Seeing as this is just a hobby to pay for itself and mabbe a lil extra I should charge more around the $150...

Exactly, have to teach them how to get the lures back when possible. Lol The wide eyes excited look of the kids hooking a stocker trout is awesome.

Welcome, leaf springs from the old 60s an earlier cars and trucks should be decent steel if not 1075 1095 old mill saw blades with the teeth cut in the blade are high carbon steel. Old chain saw bars should be L6 steel. Mill band saw blades usually are 15n20 and can be made into a knife but is...

I try to escape once or twice a month. For my own sanity as well as to get away from the house. Problem is I think about how I could be working on this or that. Lol

Sides if you make the tools needed then the money saved is more money to spend on the new optics,pole,reel,scope etc. Lol I have a few buddies and family members ask me to make them a knife and trade for it or pay for it. Hence the collection of good stuff overflowing in my lil room.

What else are you supposed to do when its blown out on the river, too windy,wet and cold to go shoot? Lol
