Jessie, you indeed won the fight! The handle material and the Damascus compliment each other well! It appears the handle is a continuation of the Damascus!

We got the results back on the needle biopsy Wednesday! Had it not been for our daughter, there is no way this all would have happened this fast! Our daughter said she deals with cancer every day but, when it comes home to you.........…! My wife has lung cancer, squamous cell, stage 3A! She...

They did the needle biopsy today on my wife. The first time they went center mass of the tumor and drew two samples. Both of which came back as necrotic tissue! Meaning: A necrotic tumor is a tumor that has one or more areas of dead tissue, usually related to growth beyond the tumor's blood...

Here is a recommendation from myself. If you find yourself in need of a pulmonologist I would not recommend the one at SRMC. I have been warned not to use his name as I could be sued, so if you want to know,...….. Once again he has failed us. The two areas he did supposedly biopsy and also...

To all of our friends, members of my wife's prayer group, and all that have just joined us in prayer! I have known the results of my wife's pet scan since, early yesterday. I guess some how not talking about it, somehow would make it be not true. But there is a part of me that knows it is very...

Did you all catch the machine he had made for hand sanding in the video!!! Sure has the wheels turning!! Where can I go to learn more about the use of kerosene as a flux?? I have heard others talk about but I would love to hear some more info on it!!

First let me say thank you for all the good thoughts and prayers for my wife!! OK so here is where we are at! I fired the pulmonologist that we started out with and will explain this a bit more in a minute. Our daughter works at the local Cancer Clinic and she hooked us up with an Oncologist...

Looking good Dennis!!

Gene, that is not fair! Looks like that is going to be a great asset too you!!

opaul, I initially wrote this last night and then hesitated as you are not asking for advice but this is something I was taught from the time I started knife making! One of the first things known makers told me it that square inside corners or 90* corners, were a perfect place for stress...

Real nice! Two thumbs up!!

I am going to interject something here. One thing that always goes thru my mind when cleaning game/fish there is the slippery stuff. With both you are looking at opening the abdomen and with fish there is usually the slime. I remember cleaning fish when there was a limited amount of clean...

Von, I am not mistaken I never said he gave measurements! What I was speaking of was this. He did never give any measurements but, according to my eye the relationship between the handle and the length of the blade is wrong. Now I know what I am about to say can be highly influenced by the...

The angle a picture is taken at can be deceptive! One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was to draw it out on graph paper. Then it is too scale. I like the looks of the knife! However the handle appears to be way too long! It looks like the handle is too long in relation to the blade. I...

Not real familiar with engraving. So forgive the stupid questions! Do you use the scope on the right the entire time you are engraving?? Can you engrave with a head magnifier?? I see one in the pic on the right!! Engraving and scrimshaw both have always fascinated me. Back when I was still in...

In answer to the first question. You can't get rid of the rough texture on the back of the leather. Use a skived piece of leather, and sew it to the loop good side out so there is no bad side to the leather!! Mink oil is recommended for waterproofing and may also soften the leather. Still...

Boss, how long you been engraving? To my eye I don't see anything wrong but, I am jealous!! I have tried some engraving work on wood and it is them dang oh oh's that get me!!! That and my eyes ain't as good as they used to be!! What kind of tools to you use when doing that kind of engraving...

What kind of a stitch are you using. I use the two needle stitching, Chuck Borrows turned me on to that a long time ago!! Well, I will be dammed but it appears all the links I have for Chuck Borrows and the two needle stitching do not work anymore!! Chuck Borrows died in 2005 from the big C...

I like it! both the knife and the sheath compliment each other! What is the pommel of the knife made of, if you don't mind me asking??
