I have 2 sets of handle wood from 2 different suppliers, same type of wood bought as being stabilized from K and G. One is shiny and wet looking the other set is very dry looking. I put a little water on both sets the dry one absorbed the water and wet one did not. So does the wood always come...

This is my first lock back and first time using elk antler. A friend requested a knife based on a Kershaw "Black Horse" model which I discovered is very close to a Buck 110. A2 blade and spring RC 61 and 48 SS liners relieved w/ nickel silver bolsters The elk outer skin being so thin i...

I found this one at a garage sale from "Rainier Brewing" originally out of Seattle now out of business. I fabbed the openers out of ss and silver soldered the parts , G-10 , fiber spacers w/ copper, brass, NS and SS. These are for my sons and grand sons. Thanks for looking.

I've made 2 liner locks from kits a few years ago and recently made my first slippy from scratch so not a lot of experience with folders. With my first lockback in the final stages the side to side blade play is noticeable. I used an 1/8" pivot with a 3/16" bushing, blade reamed and lapped to a...

I had an idea to make serviceable lining and throat. The lining is veg. tanned goat and the throat insert is felt. The throat is a tight slip fit into the sheath. Thanks for looking, what do you think? [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

This saw this on another forum

I thought being little this would be a quick knife but not the case so here's a couple progress pics. NS guard with soldered pins Bronze domed butt cap hammered out of sheet and soldered to NS plate with soldered pins. Ready to start shaping handle then more detailing. Always like to...

Thanks to Tracy for the MOP Kirinite an Bruce Bump for his Frame handle WIP. I've been working on this for 3 months a lot of firsts and more redos than you can count. The domed pins were a challenge about 60 or 70 washers to get 20 ok ones they could still be better. The file work and coining...

They have been chopping trees like crazy. I got this one in a trap , I'm sure he's just the first of many. [/URL][/IMG]

I went into an electricians apprenticeship at 19 and learned how to do things many different ways from many journeyman each one insisting I do it their way. After 4 years and turning out as a journeyman I was able to do things my way what a relief. Thats when I really started to learn having to...

To make tangible the vision in my head. When I get it right it just makes me feel good in so many ways. Working with metals, learning and solving problems, the challenge to do better. Been thinking about this since lately it's been mostly frustration and failures.

I haven't forged very much and nothing for a few years. Recently i forged out a handle for a M. Price style San Francisco type knife. A tapered tang beaver tail shape. So tried to drill holes for the handle pins and it was too hard to drill. Why would this happen (hardening) and will...
