Here is an Orca Knife I recently delivered. Sorry the pics don't really do justice to the Carbon Fiber. Blade: CPM S30V flat ground satin finish with Paul Bos Heat Treat; 5/32" thick; 4-3/4" blade edge with hollow ground martle swedge. Handles: Carbon Fiber with palm swell and finger...

Hey that is pretty cool. If you want to know the history on this you can go to Bernard Levine's forum page on Blade Forums and find out about it. Probably get a ball park on the value too.

Great addition I agree Copper looks like a great hound. You might have to get another shop chair/bed for the dogs I bet in six months he will take up more than 1/3 of everything. LOL. Great pics.

Graham, That is great looking stuff. I can't wait to see the knife that comes out of it!! Eric

I got my Elmax today and have a small edc type fixed blade I am going to do as I have similar knives in S30V and D2 to test it against. I also got some additional Elmax a few weeks ago and have had it percision ground for use on a couple folders. On other fronts some of the guys from the 5160...

Eric, You look to have a good start there. As far as the 'pits' you are referring to I assume these are from the bark of the descalded steel...Keep going they will come out. Also, consider purchasing your metal percision ground or get it ground yourself. Which is what I do. If you choose...

Boss that is a great run down, cool convex edge and I like the handle material, definately be ordering some of that soon. Eric

Jessica thanks for the inside scoop! There are at least a few of us makers who are very excited about Vanax 35, heck it could be the next flavor of the month. :biggrin: LOL, sorry I could not resist. But seriously that is great news and I can't wait to try it. Sad to hear, I had been...

Very good looking! Eric

Interesting turn! Ed and D. Brodess you two are both right on the money. I would say one of the predicability hurtles we all have to jump is the reliable heat treating and tempering. There are many good choices for steel depending on use and how a maker plans to finish a blade. The...

Not sure what constitues an "Expert" as Ed pointed out there may not be such a thing. I have not been making knives as long and many around here but I have been an avid user of and occational abuser of knives for 37 years since I got my first one. While I would not disagree with what anyone...

Randy, I really like the handle I can see why you think it is some of the best out there. It is always a good day when you cut into some wood only to find it even better than you thought it would be. Good looking damascus too. Eric

Wow is right, that is a great looking knife, congrats. Eric

Recently I finished this up and gave it to my wife. It was immediately her favorite kitchen knife. She unwittingly helped decide the handle materials one day when she noted that the maroon linen Micarta matched the purple burl eyes in her favorite Camphor wood. I finally am getting around to...

Roger, Mosaic pins are from Sally Martin. Boss Dog carrys her pins here http://www.usaknifemaker.com/handle-material-hardware-mosaic-tube-c-95_109.html He currently has one type in stock somewhat simillar to this. Eric

This is what I call the Stine’s Hill Skinner and this one went out recently to an avid hunter up in Washington State with a leather sheath. Here are some of the details on this knife which is 7-5/8” overall: Blade is 5/32” thick with 3-1/8” edge made of CPM S30V with satin hollow ground...

Good stuff John!!

Bruce, I would be greatful to come by sometime. I am in Sherwood just South of Portland so maybe a 4-5 hour drive. We have friends still in Pendleton. Heck years ago I had some construction projects in Pendleton and a girl friend in Walla-Walla. They are both good towns. I will be in touch...

Bruce, I built one a few years ago and have a project (honey do or is it due) list as long as both arms so I feel your pain. I am in my early 40's and the body just does not work like it did when I was framing houses in my twenties...It thinks it should be able too though. LOL. Some how by...

Great looking shed Bruce, shouldn't you start a WIP thread for that too! :biggrin::3: Eric
