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...

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...

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...

I posted this in a few other places, and thought I would share it here. The "Dandelion" Had a couple of pieces of an old (50's) rusty sawmill blade left and decided to make a quick implement for digging and cutting up dandelions from my lawn. (Thus the somewhat "mundane" handle shape...

At the store this morning, the lady behind the counter said, "Sir, you look like you are ready to check out". I said, "yes, I guess so". She said, "OK, but please pay for the coke and candy bar before you go". Dang, I guess I must look pretty bad these days.

Last week, I headed out the door to do a little last minute shopping. The wife said, "Stop by the grocery store and get a gallon of milk". "If they have fresh lemons, get five". When I returned, she said, "Why did you get five gallons of milk?" I simply said, "They had fresh lemons"...
