    Second attempt at a Nessmuck style knife. Had a little difficulty with the evenness of the grind and solved it by adding a swedge. AEB-L with Bog Oak and spalted Mango.

    Reverse Switch for Grinder?

    I ended up getting the switch. Like I said, for $25 it was a no-brainer. I took advantage of Brodbeck's current sale and ordered one of their packages. Now I have to wait...

    Reverse Switch for Grinder?

    Thanks Ken. I was thinking sharpening would be the biggest benefit. Now a waterfall platen will be on my wishlist too.

    Reverse Switch for Grinder?

    I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a new grinder and am going over available options. I'm looking for some input from those who have a reverse switch on their grinders and how they use them. As a $25 addition it seems like a no brainer, but I've never felt the need for one. What am I...

    A couple getting g ready for heat treat. I’m excited to see how the segmented scales turn out - Bog Oak w/Mango and Desert Ironwood burl w/ African Blackwood. First time working with Bog Oak.

    I can't quite tell from the photos, but it looks like you can mount a vfd to it too?

    I've made several rawhide sheaths. Have you decided on the type of rawhide you want to use? I've seen some made from cow rawhide- even some where they basically unwrapped a rawhide chew for material. I like deer rawhide myself - much easier to work with. I picked up some videos by John Cohea...

    New tariff impact on materials

    Not looking to discuss pros and cons or get political, just wondering if anyone is seeing prices being affected yet? There are a lot of supplies we use that are imported, steel and abrasives being a couple important ones (some steel comes from Germany and I know Rhynowet comes from Portugal)...

    Filet knife with 7” blade. AEB-L steel with some Ivory Juma, G-Carta and G10 liners. That G-Carta takes a looong time wet sanding to get a nice finish. The juma is super easy to work with.

    stag and antler

    I've used 50/50 BLO and Mineral Spirits per a John Cohea recipe on some antler. Just left the piece in a jar for a day or so, then let it sit to cure for another couple days. I've also used this on some Giraffe scales as a test. I wouldn't call it stabilization in the modern sense though. I...

    Hot Shot or Evenheat which one

    I've got the Evenheat KH 418 and love it. It's a 120v though. Takes a little more time to ramp up, but I've had no problems with it. Been able to heat treat 1084, 80CrV2, AEB-L and Magnacut without issues. Picked mine up from USAKnifemaker with TAP controller and solid state relay. Planning on...

    No More Viking Axes...

    Good news! I've been able to get a total of 10 axes! My brother in law, a cousin and a coworker were able to find some (Georgia, Michigan and PA). That should hold me long enough to find another option. Thank you to everyone that took the time and effort to check their local stores for me!

    Thanks everyone. I appreciate the effort.

    No More Viking Axes...

    I’ll have to see what if anything changes on the 15th then. Maybe they’ll continue to offer it online only? I’m assuming as a clearance item it’s being discontinued.
