Eric, that is a very generous offer. On my part, I really want to learn how to do it myself, that way I'm not relying on the kindness of others. I did manage to score a copy of autocad... Now I just have to learn how to use it!

That stinks man. Good lesson to learn though. It's never the long days in the shop that hurt you. It's always the quick five minutes, when your attention is divided on what you are going to do when you are done!

I personally love the West Systems GFlex. I use it in all of my knives now, and have never had even close to an issue with it holding.

I'm needing to do something similar. I do my designs in neu.draw on my iPad and can export them as a PDF. Is there a free and reliable way to convert them to dxf for laser cutting? Thanks

Knife sold. Thank you all

Welcome aboard Irish, from a fellow Texan. What area are you in?

I've dabbled with s30v and elmax, both with great results. I've had some ask about the XHP and 35 as well, but I'm just honest with people. I'll tell them I dont know much about the metals, but I can shape anything, and the manufacturers will tell me how to heat treat it. From what I've seen...

definitely a better starting point for you. From that picture, I would say handle ergonomics would be an issue. I'd tweak that out a bit, and try making a knife. that drawing program looks pretty cool. what is it?

Honestly, I'd start over with designing. Begin with a specific purpose - stabbing, slashing, bludgeoning, etc... through the millennia, several people have tried to invent the "all in one" combat bladed weapon, but every one of them falls short in one category or another - if not all. So I'd...

Looking great. I would love to find a cheap used mill, so many things I could make!

Vary cool! Would make pretty cool bolsters and guards as well. Great idea!

Put some dish soap in your dunk bucket. When you dip between passes on the grinder, the small particles won't stay in a layer on top of the water. This lets me keep the same bucket of water in use for much longer than before

Hello ladies and gents. Here is a trailing point skinner I just finished up. It is based on one of the many great designs left to all of us by Lloyd Harding when he passed. This is #3 out of a run of 5 different Harding designs I am producing. The first two were gifts for family, and the...

Same from me. Love the fish eye. I think it would look great with some tarnished nickel silver and box elder burl handle!

Holy Cow! You're a genius. I have a tile saw sitting in my garage, and never even though about using it for G10 or micarta. Fantastic tip!

Former Marine here too. 1999-2005 My thoughts about defining tactical for any type of gear, including knives: constructed from tough and resilient materials that can stand up to adverse conditions, all materials finished with non-reflective surfaces, and constructed to be tougher and to...

I use the harbor freight bimetal blades. Like JDW mentioned, I set the saw up for slower cut when doing g10. Unfortunately it seems g10 is hell on blades regardless of make. It does seem strange that I can profile out d2 all day long without damaging the blade, but I have to go real slow...

Those pods look pretty large. How many sets of scales have you gotten out of one?
