Frosty Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Not into crossword puzzles I see, Jim. Good thing you have something to do with your hands. Beautiful as always, I can't tell how long are they? It's good to see you posting again Jim, seeing what you've been up to is always a treat. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Brouwers Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 These are absolutely beautiful. Hopefully this is a compliment, but they look like they belong in the hands of some Hobbits or some Dwarves! Seriously though, I didn’t get into this hobby to make knives, but this kind of work really makes me want to make something like these!

JPH Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 Steve: YOU real funny G. I. ... Book IV is starting proofing, line drawings and a wee bit of re-write during the edit..Photography has been started already...It's going to be a BIG book from the looks of it..the Japanese blade sections alone will be worth it...especially trhe section on Hamons...

Chad J. Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Love 'em. Makes me realize I need to get back on the daggers I've got on the puke of started blades. Can I ask, do you use jigs or do you do most of your grinding and sanding by hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPH Posted Monday at 03:07 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 03:07 AM Howdy!! Since you asked..I don't use any jigs or mechanical set ups or anything like that...all done "free hand"..just takes a bit of practice..that's all that it needs really..Once you get the "feel" for it...it's not that hard to do...
