    You bet I don't know why I didn't do that! This one is 0.130" AEB-L, stabilized box elder burl, blue g10 liners, and brass corby bolts. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    If nobody is opposed I thought it would be cool to keep this going and just post some as I finish them. Here's a hunter I just finished up. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Thanks I'm excited! My wife is interested in paying around with stabilizing. She ordered everything for using cactus juice. Now she's got something to keep her busy. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Found a local guy that has a stash of wood that's been sitting in his shop for a decade. Got some from him to try my hand at processing handle material. Pretty good haul for not having a clue what to look for or how to cut it. <br /> <br /> Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Sent from my...

    Good catch. That happens when you think you can clean the profile of your template up by running it length wise on a 36 grit slack belt. The original drawing, admittedly, has more belly than the larger knife, but not that much. I sometimes struggle with drawing a design with less belly...

    Made some templates of some new designs I've been working on. Still need to do some tweaking but I'm excited to start on them. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Thank you! I don't do the resin myself. I buy scales or blocks. It's fun to mix things up every now and then. Ya I end up with a lot of pictures with dirty hands and clean knives lol. Glad my wife is taking over picture duties! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    I'm pretty new here and just wanted to share some of my recent knives. My wife is a photographer and I finally convinced her to get into knife photography. I'm sure you'll be able to tell where she took over lol. Thanks for looking!

    Thanks. Ya I have a bit of a problem lol. Still experimenting with what works best for me. Just don't tell my wife what belts cost! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Hey everybody. I'm new to this forum though I've been making knives for a year or so. Here's a few pictures of my shop and the batch I got finished up this weekend for heat treat. Hope to learn a lot and possibly contribute what I can! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Ya I'm the same way. I have three kids from ages 2 to almost 7 so that didn't help either. My days of chasing steelhead have turned into birds nests, hooks in trees, and stocker trout lol. Wouldn't have it any other way though. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    I like the way you think! The problem I have is spending too much time making the knives and not enough using the toys. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
