I wish Dave Ferry (aka Horsewright over on BF) frequented this site. I have yet to finish a knife out of the AEB-L or 13c26 but he is the one that turned me on to them. He makes a lot of hard, daily use knives and likes the AEB-L. I believe he normally has a 61 Hrc target (Peter's Heat Treat...

Thanks fellas. I too want to see it finished up. I just dyed it tonight, will decide tomorrow if I'm going to antique it or glue it together. The basketweave on the quiver took me twice as long as the whole wristguard to this point. :31: Chris

My wife and I have discussed me having that procedure, I just can't seem to get up the cojones to follow through. :what!: They all look great Justin. You my friend are certainly ahead of the curve. Not only with the quality of blades you've produced in your first year, but now it also seems so...

Quivers hold sharp, pointy things. So that counts as a sheath, right?:les: In practice for carving and tooling, I dismantled the quiver I made a couple years ago to fancy it up a bit. While I was at it, I decided to make a matching wrist guard. I've done simple stamping and basketweaves on...

Classy! Chris

Just need to take them up through the grit progression and they'll be ready to send to Peter's. Chris

You made 2 each of those, right? :3: Chris

Thanks fellas. Chris

I currently have about 3 times as much in progress as I ever have had at once. Finished heat treat on these 1080 blades a few weeks ago. They still await final grinding and handles. Have these AEB-L blades profiled and ready for bevels before I send them out for heat treat. If anyone has...

Hello Lucky7's and welcome to Knife Dogs! Mr. Caffrey is undoubtedly more experienced than myself but I have another method that I personally have found to like better than what has previously been mentioned. How I did the few that I have, is I took all the precut leather washers and soaked them...

Thanks Laurence. I am certainly glad I spent as long in the design stage as I did. I wouldn't have been happy if I would have cut out my first designs. Chris

Have these ready for heat treat. I will most likely send them to Peter's. Chris

Very cool Justin. I think there is a lot to be said about the class that older guns possess. I'm trying to convince my cousin to sell me the old .22 pump that was our Great Grandfather's but I'm not having any luck. It really saddens me because like you I would get it fixed and shoot it on...

Looking good. Pictures of the knife out of the sheath? Chris

Bleh, cleaned out some photos with the unintended consequence of losing photos here. I tweaked things one last time anyhow. I think you were right in that the handles needed to be a bit longer Laurence and I didn't like the straight lines in the quilons. I'm really liking the looks of these a...

Thanks Chef. It will be convex, was just trying to estimate how far back I should take the convex. Chris

Have fun fellas. As I said in a post over on BF my wife nixed my scheming for the weekend. Chris

Do the stamps that Nick makes require a press of some sort or do you hammer strike them like other tooling? Chris

I'm looking for some input, advice and critiques on a couple design possibilities for one of my next knives. The knife will be for a young lady to carry while deer hunting. She needs a smaller knife and all 3 designs have a 3" blade and 6.5" overall. I plan to use 1/8" AEB-L and outsource the...

Another design I drew up this evening upon request of a gentleman on another page. He wanted to see one with an angled offset handle. Thanks, Chris
