So I am looking for a round punch that will let me punch the holes in my retention straps of my sheaths for my studs. I think I need a number 8 but I am not sure. I get my studs from Tandy. But when I look for the punch I can only find the #7 and then it jumps to a #9. I think I need a 7/32"...

Very Nice!!!! Congrats to the newly weds and that is awesome news. I might see my file guide sometime soon.

Doug, your right. My first post said spine and then that above post said tangs for some reason. I fixed it. Thats for the info.

Ed, another good question for you, since I have been thinking about it for a bit would be. Why is the success rate only 50% when doing drawn back spines?

Very Nice!

Thanks Ed. I have seen your page. Seeing that and reading it a couple times, as well as seeing some other people talking about the ABS and testing has got me thinking about some of the different ways to do it. I was wondering if it could be done another way, other than edge quenching? Of the...

So I know there is a couple different ways that would allow you to Heat Treat the blade to allow for the 90 Degree bend test for the JS test. However, I know that you can use a torch and edge quench and that would work but what about other methods to differentially Heat Treat that would allow...

This is a must have sometimes. It fixed a lot of problems for me. You don't have to even use granite, you can get a thick pice of flat glass. YOu have to go get it special though, because normal glass is thing and can warp. I moved to a granite slab so that I could leather tool on it as well.

KT, that is a pretty cool sheath in the last picture. Since this thread is about Gator, Hellgap, is it hard to work with?

I like it. How do you like the lining, since it is your first?

Josh, Sure I would love to see some pics.

I will have to check ebay.

I mean if I get the 16" x 4" x 1" they would gold all the knives that I would do I guess. I wouldn't be doing more than a 2" wide knife. The refrigerated plates are a good idea. I would be interested in hearing if anyone has had any problems with their knives that they have had the tang hang...

I think it depends on the type of sheath you like or the type of sheath a customer would want. I started off with every sheath I made like the one you did but started to come to problems with the retention straps when I changed my handles around. So now, I do pouch sheaths for knives without...

I am glad you posted it because it helped me a lot. I just thought it was interesting they are called dovetailed. I did not see the half a dove tail until you pointed that out Art. thanks

So I have been thinking about getting some quench plates out of aluminum. I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on the sizes? I don't want to get a small set for like $60 and then wish I got bigger, so I hope to hear about the little wishes and wants from you guys before I buy some...

This would be cool to go to, travel from East slope CO to head out and check out a knife show. The only one I hear about close to me is in Denver in August. I would try a table if I had any knives to sell.

Congrats Tracy!!! That is awesome, as long as you get to do what you want to do.

I am interested in finding a block of G11 that I could use for a sanding stick/block. thanks, Brian

The BearMan mauls are kinda cool, but I don't know if I want to buy one if he won't tell me the material his head is made out of. He just says its the best. If it is such a secret then maybe I don't need one.
