Very nice, John. Always a pleasure to look over your work.

Always a pleasure to see your work, Stefan. Thanks for sharing.

The concept of turning our 2x72 into a surface grinder has been around for a while. I built this one back in 2016 from some square tubing I had laying around the shop. It uses a welders magnet JB welded to a drawer glide to hold the piece of steel being ground and allow for the linear...

I like it! I have the same question as Tracy. ^^

Great work, Mike! Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to the forum. It's nice to have you here.

I'll nominate this one from MikeL. I'm the lucky one who received it in the KITH. It's a sweet little knife. This is a picture that I took. MikeL, if you have a better pick I invite you to post it.

I'll through this one in the ring for you gents to consider. It's one of my favorite pieces to date. I'm terrible at photography, so I'm including a video clip that shows the knife off a little better.

Is this Robert66 reincarnated???

Nice! Copper is one of my favorite metals. It really pairs up nicely with your choice of wood for the scales. Very well done.

I think it looks great, Justin. The design looks very functional and I can see it being a great user. All of the problems that you described are very common. There are ways to fix all of them, but it's best to know what to avoid on the next one. Keep it up and you're going to join the dark...

Nice, Justin! I love to see old firearms restored, used and loved. Your son is going to love it.

Here's my version of a gentleman's tactical knife for everyone's consideration. If this knife doesn't belong here, feel free to remove it, Brad. My photography is terrible so I'm including a little video clip that shows it off better.

I would be interested in seeing the guts of one too. I think the main difference is that the retention is at the leaf spring and not at the blade so that it can be opened and closed like a normal liner lock or fired open by releasing the leaf spring.

It seems like every time I place an order I look around my shop and realize that I forgot something. . . So, I usually place an order about every other month or so to stock up. A portion of my work is making custom pieces for interested clients. For that kind of work I don't know what I need...

That's a beauty! Expertly done.

Looking good, Kevin! Looks like you've got your new grinder working just fine.

I just want to make a generalized suggestion to everyone as they come up with new designs, and that is to simply make a mock up before you make the real thing. It can be a cardboard cutout of the design, or a wooden model of the 3 dimensional piece. Anything that you can actually hold in your...

That's definitely a chopper design, Justin, and I like it. I agree with John and you might also consider making the handle a bit thicker for a better grip. A thicker handle will also help to bring the blade heavy design back into balance and give the user better control.

I like em!!! They look like handy little knives.
