I nominate this one by Cliff Fendley

I would like to nominate Cliff Fendley and his Scagel knife

The blade being stamped "INOX" (which means stainless) pretty much assures that it is a factory knife.

They do that twice a year near Louisville at the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot

An understanding woman is a big plus for a knifemaker. More often than not, especially in the winter, our kitchen table is covered with leatherworking stuff and the dining room becomes the shipping department.

Great find. That's exactly why I posted a thread about guns shows in the Collector Corner. More of the better knife dealers and custom knife makers are coming back to the guns show because they are local and less costly than doing most of the bigger knife shows. The guns shows in my area almost...

Personally I would have liked to have seen the Bowies/Fighters separted from Hunters/Skinners in fixed blades. I still think we need to define a "New Maker".

Fantastic!

What was their excuse for not paying for the sword?

He has been posting on Facebook so he is still around.

That one sold for $350. Mine usually run between $175 and $400 depending on steel, handle material, sheath etc. I don't have any available right now but I have 6 in the works that will be on my website soon. Of course I always make a custom to your specs.

Thank you all very much for your input. It is interesting to hear what everybody uses. I think I have what I need and my deadline is approching. I don't know when it will appear in the magazine.

Since I do stock removal the most monotonous part is standing at the bandsaw cutting out blanks. For me, the hardest part is deciding what I want to do with handles.

Thanks. I do write pretty regularly for Blade Magazine and occasionally for some other knife publications. Writing for the magazines is really more reporting rather than writing due to the space limits but I enjoy it.

Thanks everbody for your input. Please keep it coming. How do you deal with rust that may be present or prevent it from forming in the first place? Kris, thank you for the detailed explanation and photos. I hate to put you on the spot but I have to point out one error. WD-40 does not contain...
