I’m looking forward to getting that one done. Have a few ahead of it that I need to do first but I should finish it by the end of the week. I’ll post it.

Dang Jon! That’s awesome. I heard a lot of good things about the KMG-TX. I’m sure you’ll love it. Let us know what you think when you get her running.

I have
I have a tutorial on my website of making a knife from start to finish but those are single scales and liners. Not dovetailed. It’s very simple to do. I have another in line that I’ll be using this material on. I could put together a quick tutorial if there’s any interest in it. May take me awhile to get to it though.

Yesterday a Bowie FAIL was going on in my shop!! Wasn't paying close enough attention to the center line was and went WAY over. Left no room on the other side to create a plunge. This was a critical fail with no chance of recovery. Shame because the side I was working on looked great for
only be at 40 grit.

Nice profile.
I also did that to one. Recovered the blade by making it a full 1/4"+ narrower to re-center the the line. The profile I was working with could accommodate it.

good idea not sure if I work here because this was only 1/8 stock to begin with. Pretty much zero room on the other side to continue the plunge.

What's the saying? Knife makers don't make mistakes, they just make smaller knives?
