Got these today and held up any knife work for the afternoon...

I know it was complimentary! We always reinforce each other here...with a joke here and there!

Maybe 30% on my VFD. Never had an issue before and it's just one wheel. The smallest one and it's rubber coated.

Not sure if he means WIP threads or this weird beast of a knife...

I just couldn't sit still and leave it rough cut. Did the initial shape grinding. The bearing must be failing on my small wheel attachment because when I touched them to change wheel size, I burnt the crap out of my thumb...

Love that blade shape and the handle material. I'm a sucker for green!

My knife steel arrived late this afternoon. Only 2 days delivery from AKS, my go to steel shop... Just enough time before dinner to get the blade marked out and rough cut...and I do mean rough cut! I always cut outside the lines to give me some grinding room.

WIP Thread Started...please be kind. https://knifedogs.com/threads/wip-survival-knife-for-my-son-in-law.54085/

I posted in the general area asking if anyone had built a knife like the one in this post. Not much action because it's an odd knife. Almost a "Fantasy" knife or video game prop. I'm going to ga ahead and attempt to make one similar. Here is the picture I was given and a drawing I made. The...

Boss Dog has always tried to keep this a family friendly place. I don't see why there would be a problem. Welcome Jeremy!

I have a piece of .171 steel on the way. That's pretty close to 3/16ths! Nothing in the shop fit the bill thickness wise and anything close was too expensive for a test piece.

I'll give a build thread serious consideration. I'm waiting on a piece of steel and a $15 POS knife similar to these to get a look at before I jump in!

The first picture is actually the one he sent me. That knife is sold by a company called Forseti Steel and sells for $150. He wants a knife made by me as well. I have no idea why he wants one like these...

I couldn't agree more but it's what he wants... I'm giving it a shot!

My son in law has put me to task to see if I can pull off this knife. Looking for input from anyone who may have tried this... Steel type and thickness would be my first question. I'm not going to waste any Damascus, that's for sure!

I have that SWAG Off Road for my DeWalt Porta-Band and I love it!

Sad to see Northridge get out of the grinder business. I have one and it's such a solid machine. Can't comment on the others, but I hear great things about the Reeder.

Does it go full vertical and lock up?

AEB-L is my main knife steel. I plate quench in the foil. Remove the foil, go into the freezer for 30 minutes or so and then into the tempering oven. I tried dry ice and RV antifreeze and saw no improvement in my blades. I don't plan to use LN either.

Thanks guys, the new owner loves it. I still have a hard time getting over parting with my knives. I'm sure it gets easier...
