Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

Here's the finished product...there is still some epoxy that needs to be cleaned.. and its not perfect but looks pretty good and I am happy with the results.... ..especially since this was my first attempt at it.

 

Just picked up this beautiful Charl Pienaar front flipper.

 

Already starting on the next project.

 

What type of material are you going with for the handle?

 

Awesome day today.

First I whipped up this schematic of a straight edged friction folder during my lunch break. I want to make several of these as a gift to my coworkers that worked with me on a multi year $100mil+ project. This simple bevel design with help me work of grinding in bevels.

Second. I came home to my new 2x72 grinder sitting at my front door.

Third. I got my heat treat oven ordered.

I hope to be making knifes I can sell within a few months.

 

I'm thinking some type of wood. The original was leather I think, but this knife sat in a building for years exposed to all sorts of weather so the handle was rotting off. I found 2 others with it, but I can't seem to find them now.

 

That's a pretty sweet tool you got there!

 

.. that's what she said.....

All joking aside it is nice .....

Here's today's EDC .... a Kershaw Camp 10... its a beast. Woot had these on sale for about $30 once upon a time...

 

I agree, camp 10 is great specially at price point

My Benchmade:


This is what I used to maintain the grooves on the serrated part:

 

I don't even like a safety on gun

 

Sharpness is subjective. Different sharpness for different blades. The finer and sharper the edge, the less it will last. I put a medium sharp edge on my EDC knives that don't require extreme sharpness for precise cuts. The edge will last me a month or 2 then it doesn't cut as much. On my skinning and filleting knives I go with a super sharp super fine edge. This is fine because I'll usually only skin one animal per hunting trip and I can sharpen by the next time I go hunt. Different sharpnesses for different uses.

 

bought a 555 a few weeks ago from my local benchmade dealer. Was between the mini grip and bugout/ mini bugout but the full liner on the mini grip won for me. Then ordered a set of smkw titanium scales for it during the st pattys sale. Very impressed. Not bad for 130 bucks total!

 

Good choice on the mini grip

 

Getting there, slowly

 

DLT Warthog. Laser etched design produced for DLT Trading by Spartan Harsey. The etch is incredible.

 

Kershaw worked with Rick Hinderer on this Ferrite. It’s a $50 assisted opener. Great EDC.

 

I need to replace several of my fixed blade knife sheaths so they can work with Tec-Locs. Where do you guys go too for sheaths?
Thanks in advance.
