One I just completed. S60V with 416’guard . Handles are pinebcone covered with bronze and white Aluminite.

It will wear off in use.

Paul Long has retired. Check Kenny Rowe. The one I get if I don't do my own is back logged.

Then you are advertising in the wrong market and you are using a sheath maker who your need to do a search for a less expensive maker. You can make all kind of excuses about why not to do it.

Evidentually you don't know how to price your knives or the values of nice knives. A Knowledgeable maker passes costs onto the buyer and both come out ahead.

It looks like wenge to me1

I’ve seen them shave steel off one of their blades with a good knife.

Joke was they use tin, car bumpers, and anything else they can salvage!!!

If you don’t have enough carbon in the material that you are using to make it high hardness why temper it?

I've made up to a dozen at a time. It takes layout and watching what you are doing.

Depends on who the sheath maker is. I know in some cases it increases the value because of the excellent job the sheath maker did.

Sean it is more than just the small wheel. There is a flat plattern leading up to the small wheel so you can lay the flat of the blade on to it then move it to grind the curve on the bolster.

I think he is referring to a small wheel holder. Uncle Al has a grinder with a small wheel that the guys who make integral knives use to finish the transition from blade to bolster.

Welcome. Nice blades!

You can hide the pins in same handle materials where you almost cannot see them. i have used natural canvas pins and thong hole and you could not see them. Black micarta for black paper micarta bolsters are also good.

Check with drag line crane companies. I used to get a lot free because if a line kinked then they had to replace the whole line for insurance purposes. I still have about 30 feet out in the shed for future projects/

Welcome!

She does like Patricia and set me up for a company logo to be put on a knife.
