Thanks gang. I need to get out of this little "Funk" that I have been in and get back to making some stuff. Dozier......... Glad that kitchen knife is working for you. Darrin........Those Dirt Daubers can be a real PITA. Its as if they build those nests in places they know will make you mad. :)

Haven't done much knife making lately......... Sort of been in a "Low-Burn-Out" feeling, but I did manage to finish this little skinner just to see if I could still do it. W-2 with a lightly forced antique finish. The handle material is black Linen Micarta with Micarta Pins and some...

Ironwood and Maple Burl

Sure enjoyed chatting with you Calvin. Your knives are top notch for sure. Now, if I can just remember some of the tips you gave me.......... Robert

There are no secrets in knifemaking, only undiscovered opportunities. Robert

Super nice job Bruce. Really like the scales. Robert

Ooops......... Double Tap

Thanks Jason, I guess it was higher than seems normal. I have access to a RC tester. I will start at 1125 and go from there. Thanks again, Robert

I know I have seen it somewhere, but I can't seem to put my fingers on it. Making a slip joint blade and back spring from 154CM. At what temp should I draw the back spring? Seems like I read somewhere that around 1200 would be right. That seems mighty high. Any suggestions...

Edited:........ I must be getting old........ Everything I had to say has already been said....... Somehow missed the first page of posts.

Do not throw away the Bacon Grease.......... Its a sacrilege......... When you are working away forging or grinding, you can dip a hot blade in the grease from time-to-time to remind you that it is time to stop what you are doing and have a bacon sandwich. :biggrin: Other than the wonderful...

Bruce, you nailed that one, and its even more fun when you "Show" it to folks and tell them that you made it. The usual reaction is "No Way.... You didn't make that.....How could you make make that?" That is usually followed up by... "Can you make me one?"......."How much"........ Then, when...

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet................ If that is your first, whatever you do, don't let it get away from you. Keep it and if you continue making knives, pull it out every 6 months and compare it to your latest knife. You will appreciate the progress made over time...

Thanks guys. I have decided that a "Pattern" may be the best way to go. Let someone else do the foot-work. I can always modify to suit my needs. The design and fit on this kit is very good considering its a "KIT KNIFE". With a little fine tuning, it would make someone a nice knife...

I ordered a single blade Trapper kit from our own Tracey. I did this with the intention of possibly using it as a pattern. After checking it out, I decided to toss the included 440-C blade (even though it may have been OK..... I didn't test it), and tossing the included handle scales. I...

Bruce, this is NOT a scam. I checked her out. She is legit. I will have all the funds transferred in to my account, but I have a slight problem. I need to send her lawyer $10,000.00, and I can only raise $5,000.00 right now. Here is the deal, If you would PayPal me 5 grand, I will gladly...

Ah-so......... Makes sense to me know. Thanks for the answer. Robert

Love reading your posts Kevin. I can keep up most of the time, but you threw me a curve on this one. Can you explain your low temp salt tube and how you use it in your Evenheat? Thanks, Robert

Thanks Travis. I'll check into Mr. King's stamps. Robert

Looks good Sam. Batson and Longmire are both great at these. Yours is coming along nicely. Show us the finished product. Robert
