Wow, there is a lot of work on that mantle! I really like John's work and that display is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Kevin

I am fast coming up on the need for a belt order so this could be really good news. I am anxious to see what Randy thinks when he tries to eat damascus with them. Kevin

Very nice. That sheath looks bullet proof and very cool. Kevin

Looks like you are having a lot of fun. the watery camo is pretty cool. Too bad you can't make it to the NCCA show. I'm just over the river in Higganum. Kevin

Cathy, I know you will be at NCCA this weekend. I only do fixed blades but will be happy to talk to you. I am sure we can find a couple of makers who do folders also who can help you out . I am not going to set up until Saturday morning but we should be able to get together during the show...

I have used several of the Jantz blades and can attest that they look great and work well. There used to be a guy on ebay named Grand Leavitt that made damascus over in Idaho. If I remember correctly, he advertised as Snake River Knives. He seemed to have good quality blades but I don't ever...

and a child shall lead them.....

I'm planning on seeing you all there. I'll have a table somewhere. Kevin

This thing is Amazing!!! My wife can't stop playing with my Thingamabob. She now easily plays with it for at least four hours a day. This is bad. It could easily bankrupt the companies that make Viagra and Cialis. In fact, I understand that the U.S. Supreme Court is meeting right now trying...

I bought 20 of the KD key fobs and immediately ground them up to dust. I mixed in some diamond polishing dust and then mixed the whole mess together for some canister damascus. I don't know what kind of magic metal Tracy put in these fobs but now I have this really cool blade that sharpens...

Hi Greg, Welcome to "Dogs". I see that you are going to Blade this year. I will be just down the row from you at 14 K. are you going to Mystic this year? Kevin

Thanks Max. great post. It is always helpful to see how others do it. After viewing this I am gonna change my bolster procedure a bit..looks like your way is easier. Kevin

No way am I an expert, but I have done some etching of damascus so here goes. Etching solutions for ferric chloride range from 4:1 to 1:1 cut with distilled water or white vinegar, everyone kinda has their favorite. If you are etching stainless damascus you will need muratic acid (becareful!)...

Hey, that's neat. congrats Calvin.

Well I had all kinds of shop time planned for this weekend but then my daughter went and made me a grandpappy very early on Saturday morning. His name is Graham and everyone is healthy. He is our first grandchild so needless to say multiple trips to the hospital to visit have somehow kept hot...

Yes, I still am using it. Last I heard you were thinking you might have found something better than Mobile 1. Is this thread your way of announcing "Frank's next great handsanding lube?" Kevin

Boy, that sure looks nice John.

I'm a Probationary member. Hopefully I become a full voting member at the September show this year. Being a probee, I don't think I can sign for you, but this is what you need to do. You need to have Voting Members examine 4-5 of your knives. They will be very honest with you about what you...

I usually etch in 50/50 ferric chloride and water for 15 minutes then remove the blade and wash it off in cold water. If I want the pattern deeper, I repeat. I usually do this 3-4 times. After rinsing the blade the last time, I boil the blade in water and baking soda for five minutes. This...

Way-to-go Marvin!
