  1. Keep in mind that not everyone lives where you do. In my state we have no knife restrictions. It's called self defense.

  8. This knife is a great skinning knife for large game. I have over 12 years experience as a butcher and meat cutter.


    Also, check out Jimmy DiResta on that video app everyone uses (not mentioning any third party apps)

  9. You mentioned carpentry so can you do wood work also?

    If so I would like to inquire about a walking cane / sheathed sword combo.

    I already own a non-handled baton / dagger combo and a few other interesting blades. If you would be interested in making me something as such and have examples of your wood work and design / bonding skills then we can talk. :D

  10. Sometimes the challenge is in making a complicated style of blade, or just making a certain type because it exist.

    Plenty of people collect knives simple to admire them and they have no intention of ever using it.

    The first one i really like. Good job.

  11. My wood working this far is consisting of me making the coffee table and end tables for my house. Made a loft bed for my step son. I appreciate the offer but I am not sure I'd be the best person for making you a wooden sheath for a cane.

    This one is about to go from paper to steel in the next few days.
    Simple yet effective.

  14. Mmmm. Steak knives. Something that fits ones grip yet slices through a nice rare 20 oz prime center cut strip steak.

    Restaurants will pay good $$ for quality steak knives.

  15. Have you tried hollow grinding a blade yet?

    Its not really needed for knives with high strength metals, but it does make it a lot easier to sharpen. Might even give a sharper edge.

  16. As only being a beginner in knife making I haven't tried tackling a hollow grind. The flat grind is extremely sharp as well. The next knife I'm working on will have a scandi grind.
