This one's gone! Thanks for the comments.

3 3/4" Traditional Lannys Spear Prototype for me, let me know what you think. It's a 3 3/4" traditional spear point saber ground on a Lannys clip frame. In my opinion it turned out great. Pulls about a 6 and pinches to open. Halved in green micarta Blade is .105 ATS-34 60 RC ground...

Very nice!

Thanks for all the kind words.

Very nice Paul I'm sure that's an easy one to carry. Great workmanship!

Not been here for a while and thought I'd share.

Ha! Thanks Sean! I know what you mean.....when I think of the knives I love that's the last thing I want to be reminded of!

+1 It's got to look right....and the old ones do!

Disclaimer!!!:unsure: This is in no way meant to offend I'm just sharing the strong thoughts that I have on the subject. The work you guys do is amazing and admirable! :) BUT......I guess Im old fashion too! The reason I love slip-joints is the tradition of it all. If I wanted true...

I feel your pain Bruce! The wounds are still fresh!!! I have found that soaking the Ivory in peanut oil for days or even weeks before I work with it helps a bunch! It looks great though....I know I wouldn't mess with it. ;)

Its crazy to take pride in a craft that's so humbling.....don't you think! Just when I get all filled up on complements.... (Mostly from people who haven't a clue about what they're looking at!) I go back to the shop do something stupid and have to throw a knife in the trash and start over...

Just thought I would share one that I just shipped off. 4", in D-2, and Sambar,with a small Bullocks Shield. BTW, I'm looking forward to meeting some of you at the Blade. If this year is like years past, I will be hanging around the Bose table quite a bit....wiping the drool from my chin!

Send the off to have them stablized.

Do you have a machine trades school close? Sometimes you can get the students to surface grind it for you. They may ask you to cut it up first.

First buy surfaced ground blade stock and only hand sand it with 400 grit or finer and Mic it often while sanding. As for the liners, I will lay them on the grinder using a fresh belt at a slow speed. Next how are you holding your parts to the platen? I found some two sided scotch tape the...

Nice job calvin. I pray that my first 2 blader will turn out so good!

Yes....well not quite ....maybe .045 -.055 on a knife with bolsters that are .120 thick. With the bushings you can move quite a bit of material.

It looks great Bruce! I'm glad to see that it came together nicely even with out the bushings!

I feel your pain Bruce! I've thought about just making some out of stainless. I know its not a bearing material but it would work for a small knife. I have got a peanut on my list for next month and I'm already loosing sleep about it. I'll be praying for you. (I think He cares about...

I started out in '05 just peening with no bushings. Tony showed me how to use the bushings and I've never looked back. Once you do it you will love that you can literally pound the Crap out of the pivot pin (with in reason) and the clearance remains consistent. I use a 10 degree reamer and...
