Hey there, Mike! So good to hear from you. I'm very sorry to hear about my buddy Jojo. What a character! In fact I'm feeling a little misty at the news. But one thing you could tell, he was one well loved dog. We just got a new puppy whose mother was a black lab, and whose "Papa was a rolling...

Thank you, Ted. First time back in the shop, it was like I never left...except for the critters who had taken up residence.

I was afraid of that....

I have some photos, I could post, but alas I am technically challenged. I still get antsy when big silver bird flies over my house. My photos are resident on an iPad, which my granddaughter outgrew, and switched to a phone that costs more than my car. So please don’t assume I know what you’re...

And they made pretty wicked swords too.

Also, I remember reading somewhere that 1080 steel is probably one of the closest steels to those which were used to make knives back in the French and Indian War through the Old West periods. I don't know if anyone has done a metallurgical analysis on surviving knives from the 1700's-1800's...

I used to like the term, "Frontier Tactical." ;)

Me too, Chris, and that's part of the essence of NT'ism. When we get too bogged down in making this as opposed to making that, or doing something this way or doing it that way, it just plain old robs one of the joy that caused us to dive into this craft head first initially. Last I checked, no...

I'm not entirely sure one can look at a blade and anymore say that it is an NT blade. There was never an accepted look, or style, and NT makers employed many different styles, types of blades and techniques. It was the absence of forced styles or finishes or blade types that defined the NTM's...

Hey, thanks. Got it! Appreciate the heads up! I miss those old "Family Bible" sized yellow catalogs they used to send out. Those things would stop a bullet.

Thanks for responding John, will do.

Hi, I posted this over on the want to buy forum, and the shop talk forum, but thought I'd post it in several areas, since not everybody visits every forum. As the subject line says, I'm looking for some high carbon steel 3/16" thick X 3/4" wide. I've got some projects coming up and that size...

Hi, I posted this over on the want to buy forum, but thought I'd post it in several areas, since not everybody visits every forum. As the subject line says, I'm looking for some high carbon steel 3/16" thick X 3/4" wide. I've got some projects coming up and that size would really be handy. I...

Hi, my name's Dana Acker, and I'm from Mt. Airy, NC. I have not posted on this particular forum before. I'm pretty much a new/old haunt at the Neo Tribal Forum. That said, does anybody have any high carbon steel at 3/16" thick and 3/4" wide (any length) for sale? I used to get 1095 from...

I get it, Daniel, we’ll still be here when deer season ends. Safe and profitable hunting my friend.

Don’t worry Ken, a little historical reading won’t hurt. We were never out to change the knife world. We just split from the whole program. And for some strange reason, we’re still an item today. Kinda funny when you think about it. But we made good knives, despite everybody’s worst nightmares...

Good question Chris. But first, please go back and read the post on the NT Art Movement posted near the top of the NT forum page. It was started by Tim LIvely, one of the original founders, and contains comments by Tai Goo (as The One or something like that) who was one of the originals as...

Hey Ken, my car quits running without an EMP. What's up with that?

For new people to the whole NT thing, and for those who have been around awhile, let me encourage you to go back through the archives and comb through some of that material. There's good stuff out there.

Anybody doing anything interesting out there? It's a shame that the forums are so inactive. I know with the advent of social media, the forums are kind of like flint and steel next to one of those auto-lighting butane torches. But ponder this. When things went digital, I read where America...
