Has anyone come up with a way to re-bond the joints on old belts? I have a lot (over 200) of 3M Trizact A45 belts that I got from an estate sale but they are undoubtedly old and the splices just won't hold. I've tried every adhesive that I have to try and re-bond the splices with no luck. I hate...

Finished this one today. RWL-34 blade at HRC 60, mirror polished with Mammoth Ivory scales and red spacers. Left side carry sheath since he's a southpaw. Mike

Just got another tool for the shop. I've been using a worn out old hand held hardness tester but now I'll have a little more confidence in the readings I get. It was just calibrated and I got a load of standards with it.

Do you guys price your knives with mirror polished any differently that a blade with a satin or bead blasted finish? I've been finishing up a knife for a customer and have spent way too much time getting the mirror polish just perfect. It's been a while since I've done a mirror polished blade...

For those of you using salt pots. What type of salts are you using for both high and low temp pots, and where do you get it? Thanks in advance, Mike

Her is another Damascus. I got this billet years ago from our own Bob Warner and finally got around to making a knife out of it. Came out pretty good in my opinion considering my limited skills. Hollow ground Damascus blade with an Ivory handle made from and old walrus tusk. It has copper...

I finished this one a couple of days ago for my oldest Grandson. He's 9 and has been hinting to me that he needed a knife for deer hunting. So this what I came up with. Hollow ground Damascus blade that is 3 3/16 from the tip to the stainless bolsters and 6 7/8 overall. Handle is Walrus Ivory...

Just thought that I'd post here as a new guy. Bob Warner recommended the site to me so you can blame him. :biggrin: I just gotten back into making knives after a long time of not getting to work on any for reasons that no one would care to hear about but it's sort of like riding a bike. It all...
