Did you check out the American Bladesmith Society's Website?  I believe they maintain a list of MS they have issued.

Yes sir, haven't found any info so far.  Thanks

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I would like to find out the maker of this beautiful knife. Has a maker's mark that appears to be -SUS- and a master smith stamp on the back side.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Been a while since I posted here.  Here is a small knife I made of 1080 carbon fiber and bolsters of Jose Gomez Damascus.  This Damascus is some of the best I've ever used.

Thanks Jose for producing such fine Damascus.

Nice work!

Outstanding!!

Rich,    No, that is not my steel.  I'm not sure who made it, I've had the steel a long time.

I havent made any damascus in a long time.

Thanks for the comment

Classy and well done....Is that your pattern weld steel?

Thanks for the comments guys

Finished a folder a while back and thought I would post a pic of it here.
Thanks for looking

Finished a small pocket knife, 3 1/8" closed length. 416 stainless bolsters, laminated abalone scales and the remaining piece of the last piece of damascus I made about two years ago.

Here is my little Schaublin 70. I use it to make pivot screws and bushings. Accurate little lathe.

Beautiful knife! Is that a Fred Bear recurve?

Here is a hunter I finished. It's 01 tool steel, soldered 416 stainless guard, red and stainless spacers. About 9" overall length. Deer antler handle.

Thanks for looking

Yes sir, that is very nice!

Thanks for the comments guys, 5160 is one of my favorite steels.

Forged 5160 blade and titanium frame, clip, carbon fiber onlay. Thanks for looking

I'm lovin it. been trying to get a handle to look like that for a while. any pointers, specially on getting the fibre to lay nice in low spots, or is it one solid chunk that you carved up?

Very nice knife! Where do you get your 1080 material?

That is sweet! Really nice. What did you use/do for the finish?

I really like that!

Finished a Bowie with a 8" blade of 1080 and stainless fittings. Thanks for looking

My Hardinge 47 split bed

That is an absolutely fine piece of work!

Yes, I think brass is a very common pin material, especially on factory knives. I would think the origional pins were peened on the handle material before the knife was assembled. I would think it would be hard to peen the pins with the knife assembled. I sometimes use a head spinner in a drill press to round over the heads of pins, but it does very little peening to them.
