  1. Before changing anything. Try putting an edge on the stock andncut, scrape, chop sone stuff and see if it dents or dings. If it does, then you'll have to see how hard it can get once hardent and if/how expensive that would be. Good luck
  2. Well, I would finish it with the swells and see how it looks... you can always grind them down and re etch the blade if they look bad. But it's really hard to put them back on... knives look good!
  3. I hear you on that. I'm not really that good at free handing
  4. I don't knie if you use Facebook at all, but I see a lot of people selling good video equipment on there for some really killer prices. Just thought I'd share. Nice work you got going!
  5. Thats great! Thank you! I have to get myself a contact wheel for my grinder.
  6. Just wondering how you guys accomplish curved plung lines on the primary bevels of your knives?
  7. Pricing is super hard. I have just started myself and am looking to make enough per knife to pay for the next one while making a small profit. But it's hard. Most people want a custom knife for the price of a walmart knife. Custom made and handmade just doesn't mean as much as it used to anymore. Even when they point out Topps knives or EESE. They don't realize they are cut out on plasma tables and made by the hundreds. Not one at a time. If you price to low, it's a heck of a time trying to ask for more. If to high, people walk away.
  8. Thanks for all opinions guys. It helps a bunch. I'm thinking micarta is the way to go. I think the plastics, though easier and cheaper will be more fragile. Thanks again and I'll keep you posted as to what I end up doing.
  9. Hey guys, I have a customer asking for a custom tactical hatchet/tomahawk. What he's looking for is the solid, 3/8" thick hatchet with a polymer style handle. Problem is, I dont know where to get polymer handles let alone know if they even make them for sale. He's interested in the likes of the SOG style tactical hatchet/tomahawk. Does anybody know if there is a company out there that sells polymer replacement handles? Thanks!
  10. Heat treated and finished up! Splits oak beautifully with no vibration or hand shock when batonning.
  11. Yes.. you should keep eggs in the fridge. It looks good. I'd say a finger stop would be about it. Looks like it would balance quite well in the hand.
  12. Actually found a tool called a splitting froe knife... good to know!
  13. Ok. Maybe not a froe either... but you get what my intention was... a kni-froe
  14. Was going to use this as a kindling chopper (froe?) so I guess calling it a "blade" was the wrong word, but still a blade of some sorts..
