    I sell knives thru my local ACE Hardware. They are all of new steel, and I have destroyed several of them to see just how good they are. The most new steel has cost me including shipping on hunter size is $3. Better safe than sorry...

    Use devcon 2 ton. It will handle the job and sets in about 30 minutes. It workable in my area after about 8 hours. http://www.devcon.com/products/products.cfm?family=2%20Ton%C2%AE%20Epoxy

    I stopped using 5 minute epoxy years ago. It dries brittle. The 2 ton waterproof stuff is good for a few knives. If you're looking to make knives on an ongoing basis get some GFLEX epoxy. That stuff is the best I've found. I order it off the internet. Mixing equal parts together is the key to most epoies. Read the label carefully as some epoxies require a different mix ratio.

    After a year recovering from an injury I've been back at it for 5 weeks now. Here a few that I have forged and finished to date... ...and I've been busy!

    Very nice!

    Nice! Great use of left overs. Fantastic way to increase profit margin. These should sell well.

    Very nice! Can't wait to see your next one.

    Very nice. Interesting way to open it.

    For my first folder I chose a Friction Folder. 1095, micarta scales and spacer. Stainless steel pivot, pin, mosaic pin. I am very satisfied with the resulting knife and will make more of these.

    That's a great idea. I'm going to share it with some of my younger knife making friends. It should be very cost effective for them. And would give them a way to etch their projects without having to wait for the weekend to come to my place.

    I really like the handle also!

    Build one of these and use it to have better control over the process: http://www.tacticallysharp.com/reviews--info.html

    I have used BetterBond's TC-20. It's made for this job and has worked well for me. I have used it on knife projects and on a couple of other wood projects where I used copper as accents and wanted to have more than just mechanical hold.

    I use the VSM belts all the time. While not to costly they wear pretty fast. Good for one knife when new and Ok to profile 3 or 4 more. The cost makes them a value for what you get out of them.

    If you haven't bought many parts already look at Wilmonts Little Buddy kit. It's a nice way to go and if later you want something else the accessories will be use able.

    Put more pressure on the mid point of the blade and draw it straight to get the line straight. Use a push stick if you need it. Sway your hips instead of moving your arms.

    I currently use a basic 2x72 from Pheer Grinders. Been using it for 3 years. It works today as it did when I got it. It's a 1hp. End of tge year I will have save enough to buy a Wilmont TAG 101 with a 2hp motor. I have used it extensively and realized it's time to upgrade. The Pheer is a good starter unit and Jose the owner of the company is great to deal with.

    Very nicely executed first knife!
  23. TacticallySharp
    Very nice knife. The sheath is well crafted and compliments the knife.
