Congrats, Good luck.

I cut the pieces about 1/8 longer than they need to be. Since you have a mill you can gang mill a stack of pieces to all be the same width, in this case 3/16. Then I carefully radius one end to match one of the pocket. Then start the radius on the other end on the grinder and then file by hand...

This one is SPF.

Looks like a yoke vise turned on it's side.

Did you peen the blade or spring pin too tight?

I saw this on ebay, you could most likely build one. http://cgi.ebay.com/VERTICAL-BANDSAW-SAW-STAND-MAKITA-and-other-brands-/290524054068?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a4954234

This one is sold.

I finished this one up late last night. It was an order that was canceled so I built the knife anyways. The blade is 3-1/8 to the top of the handles made of CPM154. The main bevels are hollow ground and the false edge is flat ground. The handles are .150 thick titanium with tiger coral inlays...

If I can add some advise, next time use a ball endmill. The square edges that you have milled in can cause stress in the billet. You should also round the top edges of each of the channels you milled. You will like the difference between milled and pressed ladder patterns.

I bought some Marbled carbon fiber from Black site CF and wanted to try it out. This is very cool stuff. This knife has a 2-1/8 in blade made of 154CM. The opening method is a milled groove. It provides good purchase to open the knife but the advantage of nothing protruding to catch on your...

I'm in,thanks for the opportunity.

.250 440C is going to be a thick blade. That's a lot of grinding! Most guys use titanium for liners. The strength to weight ratio is above all others and does not require heat treating. You are going to have to heat treat your lock side and then spring temper it. Good luck, check out the...

I just finished these up, #40 and #41. #40 has the carbon fiber inserts and was a custom order. #41 has green G-10 insets and a few holes. You can see something special if you look at the blade through the handles. Here are more pics Thanks for looking, Chuck

This is a neat folder and it has a nice mix of old and new. The blade is 1-7/8in long made of Al May Ladder pattern damascus. The bolsters are bronze that have been antiqued and I added a little fluting to the front. The scales are absolutely fantastic goldlip pearl. There is so much fire in...

The only thing I don't make on mine are the screws and pivots. There is a kit at usaknifemakersupply.com http://www.usaknifemaker.com/beta-bali-kit-limit-1-each-p-2625.html

This one is sold.

I just finished this up this morning. This Med Puffin has a 3in blade made of 154CM. It sports a 2-Tone finish with satin flats and acid etched bevels. The titanium bolsters have been given my special heat coloring treatment which produces lots of colors and swirls. The scales are tan G-10. I...

This is my my first knife for 2011 and balisong#38. The blade is made of 154CM and 4in long to the first tang pin. The handles are milled titanium with dovetailed desert ironwood inserts. The skull crushers have been ground like small daggers. Overall length is 9-5/8in open. Weight is 3.7 oz...

Nice work on the peanut, too bad the pearl chipped. I read in the Clay/Lake/ Centofante how to build folders book that Frank Centofante never peened the center spring pin on pearl knives. He just super glued it in place. The glue and the tension from the spring would keep it from ever falling out.
