    Teaching my kiddo.

    It is so good to teach kids early on. We got our daughter to do all kinds of things when she was younger. Art, drawing, music, science, doing repairs to mechanical stuff, cars, etc. etc. I am a firm believer that if kids get their hands on something early on, while they might not like it just...

    Three Carving Knives (or Desk Knives)

    They work surprisingly well in the field. This type of knife can make quick work of dressing a deer. The difficulty can be if someone is not used to maintaining a blade with a strop. That in itself can be a challenge. But I've been a carver for a long, long time. Second nature for me. As...

    Best practice for selling a knife before the show?

    Take the knife to the show. Get paid for it so you know it is sold. Mark it sold at the show. You get to show your work and get paid too. That's just good business. t

    Cutting Mammoth Bark Scales

    I received an email asking what kind of saw blade is used to cut this stuff. It is a Swedish made, 1/4" wide, 16tpi blade that is only .014" thick. It is the carbon steel version of the stainless steel blade used in the meat-packing industry. This blade was designed originally to cut through...
