Thankyou. It sounds like a bit of work goes in to these little sucks.

Sticks. What do you mean when you say 'However, here the liners were relieved using the etcher rather than a mill. .........................and ................ solder, flux and an electro etcher, the kind used to mark your knife'.? Are the bolsters pinned to the sides or is it one piece with...

Cheers Sticks.

Thankyou for your input. I do have some good grinding gear and been making some knives for a couple of years as a hobby. Been badly sucked into this though, it has become a mild obsession now. Do not have a milling machine. Don Robinson's name keeps coming up, so I will try to get hold of some...

Ok thankyou. I thought that might have happened but was not certain. Good it wasn't a silly question after all.

Nice job. Just going to start my first folder. Just be happy if it works functionally.

Cheers to KnfeDogs from down under in Australia. Question from a novice. When I make a knife I heat and quench, then temper in an oven. Watching 'Forged in Fire' the blacksmiths don't appear to do the temper step. Or do they? Can anyone explain to me what the difference is or what it is I am not...
