As I said before to you that turned out great.

Thanks for the tutorial. Excellent presentation. I would just add if you don't have a lathe here is a way to drill the center hole in the rod used for the washer. http://knifedogs.com/showthread.php?t=6294 I might have to try the loctite out though. I have been using super glue and it doesn't...

Jim, Sorry to hear the news but since you caught it early that is in part good news. I hope everything goes well for you. Alistair

Say G'day to Bruce for me :) Alistair

Cool, I just bought some windex today to try it out

Sounds as though I can leave the black oxides on there to increase the contrast. I will give it a go.

That is a nice one alright

So your process is etch then just running it under very hot water. Leaving all the black stuff on there and then sandpapering (with the backing) the black off to reveal the high spots? No neutralizing? The FeCL I am using is straight out of the bottle I didn't dilute it at all. From what I...

No, just leaving it as is after the steel wool treatment. Alistair

I have a piece of damascus made from 1075 and 15N20 that I just etched (5 mins in FeCL). All the damascus I have done so far has not been would I would call very contrasting at all more just showing some relief. I see pics of damascus which show much more contrast than I have been able to...

Yeah that is my excuse too :)

Speaking of which you have had the multi-blade book for a while now. I thought you would be knocking them out by now :D:bud: Alistair

awesome, welcome to the world of folder making. That one turned out great.

I still have no idea how I got in there. You should have heard me last night though, I was yelling out "Irene, Irene" and she came running in like I had lost a limb or something but she was pretty happy when she saw the knife I made for her was in the magazine. Alistair

I got my copy of the August issue of Blade magazine today and was just reading it a bit more closely after a nice dinner and I came across a familiar knife on page 77. I had no idea I was going to be in the magazine but it has made my day. If one of you guys suggested it to them I greatly...

I am a programmer for a company called Micro Forté.. we make computer games. We also sell our technology to other companies it is called BigWorld technology. It is for massively multi-player online games. I also make knives in my spare time. Preferably slipjoint folders, but my tastes might...

Here is mine. This is the first one I have ever conceived/designed for myself. I reckon it came out pretty nicely. I did the art and the printers did the layout. It is blank on the back so I can put info about a knife on there when I sell one. Alistair

Don't forget we ride Kangaroos to work. The pouch is really handy when dropping the kids off at school or doing the shopping. :)

Thought I would post this one up. It is the last knife I had with blades using my old dremel cut style of nail nick. I had a hell of a time finishing this one off. It has been on the work bench since Dec last year. It was the first time I have using bone handles on a knife and the first attempt...

That one turned out great. With a pocket clip like that I could see a scorpion design coming out of your shop as well. Just to throw ideas into your head. Alistair
