I am not looking to sell "alot" of knives. I enjoy making them, but prefer to make quality knives that I am proud of and if that is only 10 or so a year I am happy. I am just wanting to get my name out so I can pay for the materials I put into the knives. I attended the Blade show last year and...

Very nice!

Just as the title says I need some leather split. I have some cape buffalo hide that is just way to thick and need it split down to 2/3 oz leather. If anyone can help provide those serves please let me know.

I am working on a pair of framed handle bowies on for a client and one for the Blade show. I am using higher end materials such as damascus,Musk ox and mammoth ivory. My question is I have not seen may higher end knives with brass, why is this? I was planning on using some thin brass in the...

I purchase my FC at radio shack. It is sold as circut board etchant. I keep it in a PVC tube and do my etching inside. I neutralize with windex or amonia in another tube and then rinse off with soapy water.

For the tip I would slightly rotate it so that it grinds material from the tip or grind slightly above it. In fig. 2 it looks like you don't have consistent pressure on the blade when grinding. If what you do is move around the blade to get the areas back to even and then try and maintain...

Thanks. I will look into it.

Did you cut down the shaft? All I am finding is the ones with a 1/4 shaft and the fordom won't support that.

I am talking about Best of categories. I do have a table t the show. I am shooting for my JS judging in San Antonio since I don’t think I will have my 5 knives available by the Blade show.

Ok. I have a question that I thought someone could answer. I have two knives i am working on that I am thinking of presenting for judging at the Blade show this year. My question is what are the rules, when and where do they need to be presented, and if I am not available the first day (I have a...

I have used this for a few years now and it has worked just fine. I am sure there are better saws out there but for the price you cant beat it. http://www.harborfreight.com/horizontal-vertical-metal-cutting-bandsaw-93762.html

Bruce can you tell me what size mandrel this is and maybe where you got it. My mandrel for the foredom is really bad and the drums just slip off. http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/brucebump/Album%20number%203/IMG_3588_zps28949a9f.jpg

Thanks I will keep an eye out and let you know when I get pictures of what is being being sold.

I will say that pictures will help. I had a friend saying that he knew w guy that was trying to get rid of some high end knives. I live just outside of Raleigh so I told him to get some pictures for me.

I have a customer that is wanting a musk ox handled bowie. I have been searching and canot come up with a supplier for this. Does anyoe have an idea where I can check for some?

I will say the bubble jig is a great learning tool. I had the worst trouble trying to learn to flat grind but purchased the jig and used it for a while. It taught muscle control. I dont use it myself anymore but pull it out when I have someone in the shop I am trying to teach.

I am looking for the larger shows I am willing to travel anywhere in the continental US. I am looking for more of the high end shows I don’t have anything under $200 (except for some tactical 3 finger knives).

I am looking for some large micarta, g10 and carbon fiber blocks. 1-1.25 x 2 x 5-5.5 Not sure where I can get these. Any suggestions?

Ok I have come to the conclusion I need to attend more shows. My wife has said to go ahead and make my schedule for the year March to March so we can pre plan. My question is what are the best shows or shows that would be recomended. I prefer them to be purely knife shows.

pictures would help.
