    Stone wool forge.

    I was thinking take stone wool thats rated at 2200 degrees i think and use that as an outer shell then line the inside with ceramic insulation? I dont really trust stone wool to take the full force of a gas burner but I want to extend my forge a little bit so I can treat 10 to 15 inch blades...

    Opinions on if this knife is trash now

    that is to bad. I have had cracks like that but fortunately they were a bit further to the tip so I snapped it to see the grain of the steel. I would say beat that thing up beyond normal use to see how it holds up. On the bright side you can go camping for "testing purposes only" of course!

    Just looking for some feed back. This is my first complicated sheath. The sheath took about 8hrs. This is my first try at tooling and stacking and adding a fire steel. Thanks for the feed back and sorry for the terrible picture. Derek Lee

    Finally finished a camp set! snakeskin sycamore and 1095 pair

    Thank your Laurence. I have taken your words and applied them as best as I can. The small one has a lot more figure to the handle and it is very comfortable. I was thinking about shaping the chopper the same way but I held it and I felt that having a little more meat would give more grip in...

    Finally finished a camp set! snakeskin sycamore and 1095 pair

    It feels like it took me forever to finish the chopper. Both are made of 1095 steel with 416 pin and a mosaic center pin. The handle is snakeskin sycamore. The small utility knife has a 3 1/4" blade and the total length is 7 3/4". The chopper has a 8" blade and a total length of 13". thanks...
