Best of luck to you on this build, Jake. I'll be following along with you on your adventure.

That makes total sense. Thanks for the response.

I agree with what Ed said. A welded joint at a critical junction is just not a good idea. 4" is a nice size for a folder blade though.

I'm a succor for feather Damascus. Very nice work, Mike. Great design and well executed. If you don't mind me asking, how did you keep the Damascus etch around the tang? Did you etch it after attaching and shaping the scales?

That's a great knife! Well made, nice design, and beautiful material. I'd call that the whole package. I can guarantee you that no one would be disappointed to receive that knife. You do fine work.

Yup, what they ^^^ said! Very nice work.

Looking good, John. There's a lot of work that goes into a slip joint. Can't wait to see the final piece.

I thought your pics were great, but Coop really is a pro. The knife looks beautiful either way you look at it. Great piece of edged art.

That looks like a great workhorse of a knife. Nicely done.

I'm going to sing with the choir and say A

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

Great job, Steve! That's a good looking knife. Thanks for sharing with the class.

That's a great looking knife! Your friend is sure to be happy with it.

That's a beauty! Of course, we wouldn't expect anything less coming from you.

Nice! Those scales go perfectly with that hamon. Very well done.

My method is to grind my blades up to 400 grit. I then hand sand with 220 grit lengthwise on the blade to remove any irregularities from grinder mistakes and such. Then back to the grinder a 400 grit, 600 grit, and 1000 grit. I then finish with hand sanding at 600 grit for a final finish. I...

Man, I like that one Kevin! Great overall design and the shape of that handle looks very comfortable. Stick with it as this is going to be a good one.

Great work, Kev. I echo what everyone else has said and will add that your design should make for a terrific little workhorse of a knife. Well done.

You're moving along nicely, Jake. Glad to see that the liners are going to work for you. Just a little advice for the detent, if you don't mind me sharing. I try to keep mine up as high and as forward as I can, i.e. as close to where you drilled your relief hole as you can. This will keep...
