Yeah. If you need one buy five… that’s my strategy anyway.
What's going on in your shop?

Yep! Same with small twist drills.
By the way - if you haven't already seen these, Google "Circuit Board Drills". They're solid carbide and they're pretty affordable. The smallest one I've seen was 6 thou. So, 1-1/2 sheets of 20lb printer paper in diameter. Not sure what you'd need something like that for in knife making, but it's nice to know they exist.
What amazes me is that someone figured out a way to make a spiral flute bit out of sintered metal that small and THEN figured out how to sharpen it. I mean, I've reduced diameters on 1/16" twist drill before and I've resharpened them. That's a pain in the butt. A twist drill that's 10 times smaller in diameter than a 1/16" bit - must be some tiny CNC grinder or somethin'.

Haven't posted much lately. Whole lotta stuff going on but I managed to get one finished last night. Have several in the works and hopefully I'll get a few done next week.

Juggling a bunch of knives at the moment, here are a few. Only 4 more to finish up in this batch!

If I were you, I'd avoid knife juggling all together. Just stick to knife making.
Great looking knives, by the way.

Pre glue up. Working on this guy for blade west, trying to decide on if I want a spacer or not..hardest part of knifemakingfor me is deciding on what I want to do to a knife before finishing it.

Just finished this for the wife. Her Mother passed away a few weeks ago and I inlaid a turquoise bead that belonged to her.

Sorry to hear that. Nice knife, though and I like that added touch.
Edit - YOU took my roll of string! I was looking for it.

That is so funny because my dad said the same thing when I posted this on Facebook!

Great minds think alike.
I found my string!
It was behind the anvil.
Oops!
By the way, if you need cheap, strong string, buy a string line. A "Mason's Line". You have to be careful with the type of knots you tie in it, because it'll slip with certain knots (like braided fishing line, but not as bad). BUT, other than that, good stuff and it's cheap. It'll hold something like 150 pounds.

Bowie work in progress for my son's 16th Bday (june 20, yikes...). I borrowed some "style" from one of our fellow masters. Any guesses?
