Yup I've had one for a number of years and never had a problem with it,I have the 220 volt model and it comes up to temp fast and is a dependable piece of equipment.

I just received a nice message from one of my clients that commissioned a Bowie. He just received the knife and went on and on about it,he finished up by telling me his wife had told him (You love your knife more than me !) I laughed and laughed more than I probably should have.

Welcome good Sir ! That's a beautiful piece very well done !

I forge almost all my blades but I do have some models that are stock removal.When heat treating I where welders gloves and the reason I use the slip joint pliers is I do 4 to 6 blades at a time and I dont want to grab a blade with the wrong set of tongs and drop it.I may have a hidden tang...

I have a multitude of tongs and personally I find a long handled set of slip joint pliers to work the best .

Outstanding work !

I actually did a video showing the jig in one of my YouTube vids ,I will find it and post a link.

I tape it up then clamp in a jig I made for drilling scales,next I take the intended drill bit for the size pin and chuck it up and line it up with the hole in the tang,next without moving the jig i raise the quill and remove the drill and replace it with a small 1/16 drill. I then drill the...
