Latest off my bench. Big old chopper all blacked out. The blade is 5160 guard and pommel are mild steel. There is a little copper in there just to be different.

Me too. Nothing like a Bruce Bump dagger to humble you (well me at least) Outstanding knife, it belongs in a museum or something similar

I think I called this in the other thread. Great job James congratulations

The real question is what are you going to do with the 10,000? I'm not even going to ask who won.

Cool stuff James.

Looks really nice, good job

So I'm watching an old episode of forged in fire. One of the knifemakers developed a crack in his blade. I was shocked to see him weld it up with a mig welder. I messed around with arc welding a spring once and had lousy results. I was under the impression if the base metal was hot and you...

Thanks guys. It's pretty cool we went from 0 to 4 kids in about 4 years.

Congratulations

Sorry to be so absent from knifedogs but I have a good reason. Charla and I just adopted a little boy. Adam is the newest addition to the funny farm.

Just a quick thread thanking every one for their participation in the KD Awards this year. Big congrats to all the winners. We had a mix up in the kitchen knife section so Brandant R is your winner. Big thanks to Tracy (BossDog) for putting the awards on and Beth too for fixing all my screw ups

Here is something I'm working on. I still have not figured out if I like it yet. The blade is 5160 the guard is mild steel. Now what to do for a handle?

At the risk of getting banned. There are lots of members here who could write articles. Knifedog quarterly has a nice ring to it. Since I'm such a nice guy I would even buy the first issue.:biggrin:

Well Midwest knife supplies could publish something

I´m not sure where to post this so here it is. I forged out a boar spear after seeing Lin Rhea post one on face book. Mine is not so pretty. I used 5160 and tempered at 500 for a closer to a spring that knife

I literally know nothing about setting up polls on Facebook. So in short you need a smarter moderator or someone will have to help me get things sorted out. Tracy has the final word

I have been thinking about adding a knife magazine to my reading. So the question is what is everyone else reading? I used to get blade but I lost interest in it. A knife making magazine would be even better

I'm in the phone crowd too. My cheap phone makes the forms difficult. Posting a picture almost impossible.

Great looking knife John!

My motor is 1750 rpm. I had planned on trying to balance the wheel, when I checked the runout it was around 10 thousandths of an inch. I suspect if I spent a little more time cleaning it up I could be better.
