Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

There is a trend for the old style pocket knives. Some companies like finch are styling their "modern" folders like the old ones and using some of the older style blade shapes.

 

Even case have a “modern” style piece. They also have a few fairly upscale Tony Bose models for over $500.

 

So I won a hand forged knife in an eBay auction years ago, forgot about it, then found it this weekend in the garage. How hard is it to make a set of handles? Any recommendations for online sites to buy parts/pieces?

I used knife kits . Com for some kydex a while back and all went smooth for me…. They seem to have a lot of stuff…

I’ve seen pics/vids of people doing the epoxy pour with shell casings, and I would really like to go that route, but may just buy some cheap handles and try that first.

 

I like the Damascus stuff…

 

Some of Spartan Blades are a little harder to find than others. This is a special edition Watch Works. These are mostly based on the the SHF platform which is a great knife. Then the designs are laser etched and the knives assembled by hand.

 

Nice!

 

Don't usually prefer flashy knives but this is beautifully done.

 

These extra thick Tengu scales make this a whole new knife!!!!

 

New big boy, Resilience in S35!

 

Some of the Spyderco mules scales I’ve made this last month.

 

Got this today. Might be my new favorite.

 

Bro seriously nice work!!! I'd love to send you a couple knives that scales aren't made for and have you make some scales.

 

Amazon has a lot of options and probably a better choice is knifekits.com.

I have started with a very basic wood handle because that's the easiest to work with to get your feet wet.
Then when you get confident in your skills and maybe aquire better sanding and shaping tools etc. epoxy resins is really fun to play with.

 

Looks good to me.

 

Picked up the below kitchen knife blank using "AUS-10V Vacuum Treated Japanese super steel cutting core at 61+ Rockwell hardness. It is Reinforced with 67 layers of premium high-carbon stainless steel"

Not 100% sure about how the pins/bolts work but I am sure youtube has a video for that...

I'd also like to contrast the Damascus layers a bit more if easy/possible...

 

My mother liked the red handled benchmade station knife so much that I sent her home with it and
picked up another for myself with gray g10.

 

I really want the full set so go along with my meatcrafter, but I keep going back and forth between that or getting customs made from smaller makers.
