You just don't know how much I hate crowds (well, maybe as solitary knifemakers you do).

After the rough in on the grinder I use 1×40 klingspore torn to length and shoe shine it, then go to 3m for final.

Thanks for the input guys, it is much appreciated! Traveling this weekend, will be back on forum in a couple days.

Wasn't sure which forum to place this in, so here it is if it needs moving, let me know. I want to add a separate, independent TC to my kiln to have a better idea of the temps inside. Here's the kiln and type K TC My question is this; would I be better off coming in from the top, near the front...

I just found this WIP, very impressive work, Dennis. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it.

My wife just gives me, "the look" now when we are in a store and I start taking pics of the kitchen cutlery.

I like that a lot.

LOL, OP, you just beat me posting!

How does copper work compared to brass? I like the looks of it!

That looks super nice, nice job with the applied crue de forge! The limes don't stand a chance! :)

My dad used to say when someone asked if he had a knife they could borrow, "got my pants on don't I, but it's not a loaner."

I have been talking to someone I met a few weeks ago on a pretty regular basis. He is into knifemaking and we met up today and worked on a couple of small knives in my shop. We are going to make this a regular thing, meeting in each other's shop once a month to help each other along as we can...

Will put ya'll on our prayer list, Cliff.

If one is good, two is better. Now have his-n-hers same model, different sizes.
