April 16, 20215 yr I really enjoy making knives so far. This will be where I post some of the ones that I make and hopefully I'll get criticism and see progress as i go This one is 1/8" 1084, micarta & 3/16 g10 pins. It's not finished yet but this one will be; The shovel V2
April 16, 20215 yr That's a very nice little blade, WRLD. I had a couple of minor criticisms of some small details, but on looking more closely, I realized that what I'd seen as flaws were actually problems with the photos. Looking forward to seeing more.
April 24, 20215 yr Author Thank you people for the compliments! Fresh out of the oven Canola oil makes some pretty colors if you don't get it all off before tempering.
April 29, 20215 yr Author My first makers mark on a blade it can definitely get better but I'll take it!
May 1, 20215 yr Author Roo, My shop rooster was curious as to if what I was making was edible, big nope! He's pretty happy to be included though.. Today's progress on a blade for a buddy
May 2, 20215 yr A little forge scale won't do him any harm provided it's not some high alloy steel. Frosty The Lucky.
May 4, 20215 yr Author Dont tell him that he already gets much to close to the forge while it's running. One of the bigger knives that I'm working on is almost ready for some epoxy. I read that a blade should be "almost sharp" before you grind the final micro bevel, Guess who cut themselves on their "almost sharp" knife today

May 17, 20215 yr Author One of my favorite parts of making knives is taking photos of them when they are finished
May 19, 20215 yr WRLD what ids the sheath material ? i like the right sheath and the left knife M.J.Lampert
May 20, 20215 yr Author They are both kydex sheaths. Thank ya! My buddy asked for these and was pretty specific about what he wanted. *he even sent me the kydex
May 22, 20215 yr Author Today was a busy day! Tomorrow I get to use my parks 50 quench oil for the first time! No more preheating canola

June 2, 20215 yr Love those blades Mr. WRLD especially the third from the top. Would like to see them finished.

To etch my makers mark in that photo. My bad, I should have been more clear Thank you Rojo! I've finished one of them so far.
January 1, 20224 yr Author Im back in the shop! Here's a few that I've been working on. Hopefully lots more to come
January 18, 20224 yr Author Completed my first knife of 2022 1084, Micarta scales. I'm not completely happy with how high I let my grind lines get but I feel like I'm getting more consistent.
January 25, 20224 yr Author This one is a lot like one of the first knives that I ever made. It just works a lot better though. 1084, orange g10, black g10 pins, kydex sheath with probably to many rivets*
January 25, 20224 yr Author Fresh out of the last tempering cycle is one of my favorite times during the "making" process
