John, I told you I have 416 SS that I will give you as much as you need! I can't says if I have the matching pins though... just don't remember. Let me know, Rex

Awesome thread! Subscribed, just a little late to the party! Rex

John, Ok, errr I don't know how to say this other than, "have you BUMPed your head", I don't mean to BUMP you on your WIP, but when you hit a BUMP in the road and an Angel comes to you with a Gift.....would you BUMP IT!!!! Your Angel's name is I don't know, let's call him, Bruce, just for...

Ken, It sure is GREAT to see another ALABAMIAN on here! I too have made kitchen knives out of carbon steel, well a couple, 2 or 3 or so. I finally found a good easy( or easier) to HT stainless steel, I bought some 12C27Sandvick, and man is it AWESOME!!! Cuts like crazy, I mean scary sharp...

Selder', I'd be interested in some of that long THICK Aluminum, if you have any to spare and the price is right! Knowing you got it for free doesn't make it less valuable, just makes us hope for an incredible deal! That we would NOT be able to get otherwise! Thanks! Rex

Andrew, Ok I am a bit dents, literally! Anyway, arex you saying that you got a 2 hp vfd? Or is it a motor? Can you please explain what you bought and what you needa to get going? Thanks, Rex

Mr. Fred, There is a very specific and special reason why I feel the way I do about the topic, of course there are all of those times that you see or hear the phrase, "This was my Dad's knife", and you can insert any family member into the place of Dad as well, it's like it's an extra special...

WOW FRED, This is a wonderful thing youve done! It never seases to amaze me, the way a simple tool can be so beautiful, how it can hold an incredible amount of valúe, no, I dont mean monetary value, What I' m referring to, is how an object, like a knife, can literally be a vault of...

Teter, by CA do you mean California? If so I wasn't aware he was back in the states! That is awesome, while I tend to be very patient with most things, once I've decided on something, I can get impatient FAST! Which tongs did you get? I'm really wanting to try his blade tongs, they look like...

I've thought about it too and I have wanted one for a long time I know that it would be a big help, at least make some things easier, although I know unless I can build one on the cheap I have other needs, those being a press and a surface grinder...and I'm probably gonna need a bigger shop...

Rudy, Blacksmithdepot.com has the ones you're referring to, and they are asome! I have 2 pairs of them, love'em! I too think that NY time is better spent on knives, as I did give making some tongs a try! Wasted half a day, and a good bit of steel! My ability with doing anything with tongs...

Rudi, Absolutely GORGEOUS blade, I like everything about it! Rex

So sorry Sam, I had just gotten done reading a long thread about "Stringers",that Tia had started. But yeah, that could be a compliment you BOTH are pretty amazing, in your own rights! Again, sorry about the mistake, Rex

What a sweet hammer! I LOVE hammers! And I agree on seeing a W I P on building one!!! One question though, why a cross peen and not a straight peen? I know a lot of that is preference, but if I was making one I would make either a straight or the angled type, I have all straight peens and one...

Nick, ALLI CAN SAY IS .....WOW! But it IS about what I expect to see from you, Perfection. Rex

Brad, Could you take a close- up pic of the slag inclusion? I don't think I've ever seen one myself, I would hope one of them would announce their presence with a bull horn! But, I'm sure it's not that obvious, as most things like that aren't. Another question, could you have attempted to...

Liam, My suggestion , and BTW, I've had 2 shoulder surgeries, I strongly suggest and I do so because I think it's one of the best investments in all of your knife making endeavors to use this time, recovering or other wise. I would spend as much time as possible studying, yes something as...

That's AWESOME Eric!! About time someone got it that EARNED IT and DESERVES IT!!!!! Now it's time to start working at taking care of yourself and THE WIFE!!! As most of you, have read my posts due to the unlimited support that she gives me, even though she has no clue about anything and I...

WHAT!!!!!! You mean you'd rather go TURKEY hunting!?!?!?!? I just find that hard to believe....OK , maybe I can understand that a little. Provided you have a honey sweet spot to go, like 5 foot off the roost! I don't guess next year looks any better,.....Unless I can find somewhere to go...
