Beautiful knife. Well done. I especially like the placement of the white liner. Sandwiching it between the black is an very nice touch. The entire package is homerun.

I've scrapped more blades than I've finished and 95% of those went south on the grinder Gotta just keep at it Practice practice practice

I think it turned out great

He born up here but raised in Ohio. He wants to make knives but is in college now. He lurks around forums and social media checking out knives and knife makers And yes, he knows who you are. He keys in on makers from Ohio and Michigan. I think he even visited a maker in Ohio before went...

When my nephew found out I made knives he said, Really?!?! Do you know John Doyle??

On page 59 of the latest issue of Blade magazine John's dress tactical folder is one of the knives featured. Big Congrats John!!! And here's a link the to knife on KD https://knifedogs.com/threads/new-pics-damascus-folder.48747/

Great technique for fitting guards Thanks for sharing I'll definitely be making one of those

Hopefully they'll take this up The way the SCOTUS looks now may lead to a favorable decision on the constitutionality Seems obvious to me but what do I know?

Beautiful knife

With my stupidity Today I was hand sanding a blade and I was on the final grit I have a bar of brass and a piece of leather that I use as a backer for the sandpaper I get a new strip of sandpaper but can't find my brass bar. So I grabbed a file that was sitting next to my vice figuring, hey...

I'm not a fan of Damascus but that blade is absolutely killer! The ironwood is beautiful too and the checkering takes it to the next level

I like S35vn but it's pricey I've heard a lot of good things about aeb-l and it's quite a bit cheaper than S35vn. I have some but haven't tried it yet

Yowza! That's really nice!

Great WIP. Nicely detailed and great pictures I just ordered a box of those cutoff wheels. Cutting lock bars is quite possibly my least favorite thing to do. I find that the dremel diamond wheel works best but they're SO expensive. Looks like these do a good job and the price is right...

I'll throw this into the mix although I'm not sure it'll hang with the other entries. And my photography skills are suspect at best

These I'm going to try. I worked with a guy who was a mold maker at one time. He had boxes of stones in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Great idea.

John has a forum here but I don't think he's logged on for a quite a while https://knifedogs.com/threads/tapered-tang-tutorial.128/

Yes. You can tweak it without heat. I do that all the time. I only use heat to set the initial bend The other place for adjustment is the pivot screw. This can have a lot to do with the action too. I usually put a small dot of blue loctite on it during final assembly when I get where I...

There's a lot to like about that knife. I think you've nailed the design. Looks good and functional. When it comes to flipping action it can be a real bear getting it right because there's so many variables. Any one of which can derail good snappy action. It's something I struggle with a lot...

I've had some issues with colored epoxy and quit using it. If you have deep (60/80 grit) scratches, the epoxy can show as tiny "hairs" in the different colored liner. For instance, black epoxy in red liners. Makes the liner look dirty. Now I'm just fastidious about cleaning the epoxy before...
