Hey Keith, I haven't been on here in quite a while and was just reading some comments in an old thread about my third knife. You had actually left me a nice comment. I had no sooner started making knives when I had some life changes that put it all on the back burner pretty much all of last...

Thank you guy's! I appreciate the comments very much!! I think I will try to make a sheath for this one and we'll see how that goes!

Nice work UncleBilly!

OK Dogs, Here is #6, I still need to touch it up and etch my makers mark but wanted to get your opinions. It is 3/16 O1, Ghost Jade G10 with stainless pin and tube. Pictures are still from my phone! Sorry about the quality! Let me know what you think!! Thanks dogs!2thumbs

Great job!! People like that need to be rewarded, outstanding!

Very nice work Raymond! Very nice design!

I have to agree with Ed and Nathan, Ernie was easy to deal with and very helpful! The biggest jump in quality of my etch was a friend of mine told me to dab the pad on paper towels after dipping in the solution. I had almost destroyed a blade by using too much solution, it created a dark cloud...

Wow!! Nice work Dogs! Thanks for the tip Ed! You guys rock! Keep the pics coming!

OK Dogs, I ordered up some 3/32 440C, 6 inch wide so I can make a couple of chefs knives. I am curious about grinding a chefs knife, should I grind it on the flat platen or slack belt for a convex grind? I really want to see some kitchen knives that you guy's have made. If you've made one...

Thanks guy's! I appreciate the comments as always!!

#5, Plain Jane Ok dogs, this is #5. This one is a plain Jane :D . It is 3/16 O1. The tang is tapered with Coyote Brown G10 with Black liners and a Scotchbrite finish. This one has solid stainless pins. I think I may just put this one through its paces to see what she is made of!! Please excuse...

Thanks guys! Rodney, I bought an old "Electroetch" machine off of Ebay and I got my stencil from Ernie Grospitch here: http://www.erniesknives.com/knifemaker_stencil.html I think the biggest thing that helped me to get a decent etch was not using too much etching solution. Dip the pad in the...

Thanks Justin! An hour is actually not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I could live with that!! Thanks for the info!

Hi Doug, I found the brick locally through a building supply place that handles refractories. I called these guy's http://www.thermalceramics.com/site.asp?siteid=4&pageid=55 and found someone locally who sells their K-23 insulating fire bricks. Thanks!

Ok Dogs, I am going to try to build a heat treat oven with a friend of mine. I have the plans that are available on this site somewhere. The thing is I have had an electrician look at my electrical and I cannot go 220. I am going to have to deal with the 110 for now. I am going to get the...

Thanks guys!! I appreciate the comments! I'm glad I sold my first knife to a friend!! It was hard enough as it is!! James, Ed Caffrey recommended that I bring the grind back into the finger groove after my first knife., needless to say, I took his advice!! Thanks!
