Not to be confused with bait and switch!!

You can change the looks of a piece when getting it fitted but, in some cases it needs to be smoothed. Case in point I picked up a white shed that had so much character it hurt your hand to hang on to it!! Once I removed a bit of the character it sure felt better in the hand. So I think using...

OK thanks to all for the replies! So Gene that one is listed at $185.00. The one I referenced, is listed for $23.40. Does that mean you get what you pay for?? https://www.homedepot.com/p/General...isture-Meter-with-LCD-Display-MMD4E/100651808 I want to buy a decent moisture detector but does...

I have came across some wood I am thinking about using for handles. My problem is it has been air drying for not to long, I am told!! So I am thinking I need a moisture tester for wood!! I know very little about moisture testers. So is something like this any good...

I was thinking the same thing! Wildman you are

So the recent thread the OP had on elk handles, https://knifedogs.com/threads/little-blade-with-antler.49704/#post-386665 prompted me to suggest a couple of materials!!' Here is a couple of links to such! https://www.bestbullysticks.com/extra-large-elk-antler Or you might prefer something like...

I have looked at them at PetSmart as well. They used to have some good ones. The last I have looked at weren't worth bringing home. So I always end up talking myself out of them before I get to the counter. As for stabilization. It really doesn't help the outside unless it is a weather checked...

I like it!

Yes sir, I'd be grinning ear to ear while I was filleting with that one John!! My father had a homemade fillet knife, (back then we didn't call it a custom knife)! He would put a fresh edge on it and he'd always remind me. Remember if that knife is sharp enough to run through those rib bones...

Real special knife! Prayers for her and family sent!

I once had a tooth pulled and it shattered in the process of pulling it! It took the dentist quite a while to get it all out, (or so we thought)! About 2 weeks later the area is pretty much healed. Then it begins to be sore again and when I chewed I could feel pressure there. I went in and in...

Sometimes a customers request may not be to your liking you have to balance that against is it going to make the finished product not up to my standards! I once did a knife for a fellow's grandson, and just before shipping he asks if I could put the boys name on the sheath. Something like it was...

Do you have a jig to fit the bone to the bolster on that curve, or just eyeball it!! I could see where that could be a PITA. Just a touch off and it will show every time!!

Real nice, a knife for every job in the kitchen!!

You knocked that one out of the park, Gene!!

So how thick is it at the edge. Cause so far, What kind of steel is this knife being made from?? The part I highlighted in red is OK, I would think but how thick is the blade edge? Anything under a dimes thickness risk cracking and warping. However certain steels you might get away with it...

Welcome from NW Florida!! It sounds like you have some skills that will transfer well to knifemaking! Have you got any pics of your late uncles knives??

OP, like that one, there is something about Elk that sets any knife off!!

Dennis this one is coming along really nice! I will be watching!!

OK, so here is the update. I took the high road. However I stressed in no uncertain terms the use of "spells" was demeaning, dismissive, and a down right dangerous approach to something as serious as this was. He actually apologized for his choice of words! Wow that had to hurt! He then went...
