I forgot the pic, here is the small flat rate box of happiness. I recieved a piece of SB403 steel a bag of 10 corby's, and new woods to work with. Snakewood,mesquite,black walnut,rosewood and, a pair of beautiful olive wood scales. Of course when I get a new box of wood my wife is drawn to it...

True, the problem I had was remedied and found a nice block and when I split it the inner wood was full of colors, character and sooo much depth.

I get a reminder every time I go through my knife making pictures. My buddy loves the ugly thing I made him. The other reminder is the first knife I made that was over 5" oal I put the fist pin in a hole for the epoxy to go through the blade. I kept it as a reminder to pay attention to pin...

It may be aircraft grade or part of an old APC from the Korean war era.

Ken H, I got my gift today and man there are lots of pretty pieces in it along with a set of scales that were instantly snagged by my quality control expert, (the wife) who called dibs on them for her new paring knife. My gift box to my secret sante is headed out tomorrow after I put the last of...

The rifle is an extension of himself.

I second the use for patterns/templates on thick blades. Also a possible use would be to use it to make prop knives for those wacky Cosplay kids who seem to eat up the odd and fantasy style blades to sit on a shelf. If it was me and I had the numilum I would use as a pattern or visual of what a...

A bit of retro knife action. https://vimeo.com/195524029 Here is the the rough final shape it sits right into the hand like a glove. Here it is just perfect on the palm and thin behind the guard for the two finger user.

Here is is my .02 worth on the blade geometry and final bevel angles, on skinners,camp knives or edc I flat grind the blade and sharpen with a lansky kit at 25° which has been inside the proper final edge bevel angles of 25° to 30°. Each maker has their own individual formula or just what way...

Those are beauties as well as useful tools. A bunch of my active an NG buddies agree that for EDC between 7.25" an 9" is the ideal size to where its usable and comfortable in uniform to carry.

I am also seeing alot of the new flag ship KA BAR knives are a bit off on the guards also. One side or the other seem bent a slight bit.

That makes perfect sense that when you take a block of wood and turn it inside out it no longer looks the same post shaping. But if you split the block and use it with the best character up at the edge of the tang the it should look the same as it is shaped. Since the shaping takes the same...

There is the quandry, at the current tool and skill level I have two options either a hidden/stick tang like the first 40 have been or full tang as I have been doing for the last ten or so. I am the maker of the knife it is my final decision of whether it is a good tool with some astetics or a...

True, I just am cursed with frosted plexiglass at the moment.

No not waste as in not able to use half of a scale, waste as in lose the character in the scale. I presented her with two options and she chose the one with family ties. I do have a good idea now of how it is going to turn out.

For this knife it is. Thanks for the tip about the paper cut out.

Not me, I have a bag of butterfinger cups in the shop fridge though.
