Not much alloying metal for stain prevention in the "paper" steels. There's a little chromium in the blue, for better wear resistance, I think,...
Same here. 58 would be my lower threshold, and I would prefer to be in the low sixties, in general, truth be told. I don't know much about that...
Nice. Pics of the Jeeps? Jason
I've got to go to one of these. I think I would learn a lot. That basket hilted broadsword looks like it would be a lot of work. But fun. Jason
I have always been the same way, but with some of the manufacturers using better stainless alloys now, you can get a decent blade that is...
Saw that. Good show, but I kept expecting him to make some goofy facial expressions and yell "A la cuisine!" Musashi was the real deal. Jason
Great looking knife. Jason
Thanks Harv. The tempera sounds like a good idea. Jason
I've never used the Work Sharp in particular, but I'd offer this word of caution about powered sharpeners: they can get a knife nice and sharp,...
Congratulations! I'm guessing the Brave Heart is CS's take on a sgian dubh. I don't have much experience with either brand, but they look nice....
Looks great! Jason
Thanks Harv. I use Devcon 2 Ton as well, but my only experience with trying to tint it (I used oil paint) didn't turn out so well. I figured maybe...
Looks great! I like the clean execution of your knives. I wish I could get my plunge lines to look half as good as yours :o. You did a good job...
I don't know. I have taken my clip completely off my Benchmade and then back on again. No loosening. Maybe I've just been lucky. I do have to...
Yes, they are underpowered, but it's still better than doing it by hand, especially if you are just doing flat grinds. And with some of these...
My sander is a Harbor Freight 4x36, and very underpowered. That's mostly why I start out so low. If I had a little more horsepower, I'd start with...
As per grits, I usually go with 36 for rough shaping and setting the bevels (I've only done stock removal so far- if forging, then the bevels...
Benchmade Mini-Grip. Same as always. I've never been one to switch up my "EDC," be that pistols or knives. Jason
Im a beginner at all of this as well, but this is basically what I've read when i researched the same question: That's what most would consider...
That's good-looking work. :cool: Jason
