I was really hoping I wouldn't have to post this but I have spent hours online trying to find the maker/specs on this knife with no luck... I received the knife in a knife swap on another forum and the one who sent it to me also knew nothing about the knife. The only markings on the knife are...

I am probably not one to comment due to severe lack of experience but there is only one thing that throws me off and that is the grind breaking the spine. I love the look of a nice full grind but when it breaks the spine I personally think it looks weird. That being said (and I really hope...

That was fast, thanks!

Hey Kelly, I don't think you really want to soak it in anything, but if you need to bend it I think you need to warm it... I really don't know much about it but watched Phillip Patton did a guitar WIP on bladeforums (in the around the grinder forum, didn't see it there anymore though) and it...

Where do you guys get your standoffs? Not trying to hijack your thread, just curious...

That looks great! Thanks for posting all the pics. I have a set of NWG plans and that rotating arm looks fantastic! Well done!

Ask and ye shall receive. That was quick! Gotta love having these forums to help you out like this!

I think it looks really good! I like the way you have the belt loop integrated and the little circles add a nice touch/aesthetics. Curious as to what the change in sewing technique you used?

Same here, tried latigo from Tandy since I could get large scraps. It doesn't form for crap and relaxes on its own over time so it makes a very loose sheath. However, I did make a Mexican style sheath with it that uses a mechanical lock rather than formed for retention and it works very well...

Beautiful knife, Erin. Anybody would be proud to own that!

Mustard?

I am trying to finish mine up and also allowed room for a layer of inswool around the entire oven. Just have the door left to go. I got my inswool from harbison walker (where I got my bricks for $2.65 each if I bought a full case) for free - they had a bunch of samples that he said I could...

That looks fantastic! Seriously, buy the plans for a NWG the day I saw this thread... Should have waited! Oh well. :)

I just purchased one from tru-grit (like $15) because I was scared of one blowing up in my face... Not sure how they join the ends but I'll take a look at it once it gets here...

Go with trugrit - great guys, give 'em a call and they'll set you up right. 909-923-4116

It would only be fitting that I see this thread on the day I buy NWG plans and try to locate local steel...

Hey Jim, I'm trying to decide if I should use the G11 on knives or for bullet-proof armor! Good crap this stuff is tough! I was hoping I could cut it in half without a bandsaw but that's not gonna happen - but once I get somebody to cut it up for me, on steel it will go! Thanks again Jim!

Bruce - you gonna be at the OKCA show this year? This will be my first year attending (and only major show since Blade West is no more) and would love to get to see some of your work in person! BTW - I absolutely love your WIP threads!

I am hoping to make a set of scales for my RAT Izula - just need to have access to a bandsaw for a minute! ;) Thanks again, Jim. As soon as I am able to use this I will post pics!

I also get mine from supergrit, been very happy with them. Norton Blaze ceramics are phenomenal!
