Thanks. I'll check out the local JoAnn's Fabrics.

That's beautiful stuff.... gonna have to find some burlap. Haven't seen a real gunny sack in a long while. Mind revealing your burlap source?

Classic lines, Crash. Just beautiful......

Thanks, guys. I had a bunch of fun pounding on this little guy. I really need to get a proper anvil, too. Using a chunk of railroad rail. I have a few more old files to beat up. Picked them up...

I fired up the coal forge and did some pounding on steel...... This is the first time I attempted to make a knife in this manner. I was able to draw out and twist the handle, but I don't think I...

Love the Grunt, Winter. Blade shape, handle, whole package.....very nice.

For my son's 25th birthday, I made him a Japanese-style straight razor. It's O-1 steel and has a 'faux kamisori grind'.

The Japanese writing was copied from an online birthday card, so I hope...

Very nice, sir.

Bee-U-T-full !!!

I really like the handle look, Crash. Also gotta like the butt bolster or bolster butt cap..... or whatever you call it.

Winter, I really like the copper wire embossing....

I like the 'Hogleg'!!

The Japanese-ish razors get a cord wrapped handle. The production razors that are my 'day job' are scaled with black plastic handles, that another HartSteel guy makes:...

7.62 caliber monkey-see-monkey-do goodness in that video.......:nod:

Skinner, this sounds like a great way to get involved in the community of the forum....I'm in. I'll build a knife to be donated to the betterment of the forum.

What kind of stencils do you use, Skinner?

Hi there everyone,

Looks like the knife section is hoppin' tonight.

A while back I posted an in-process picture of a knife I call 'Deco Noir'. It recently got some attention and is pretty much...

Very nice! Pattern-welded stuff is very cool.

Most 'western ground' razors can be used in either hand. Western ground means symmetrical. There is a Japanese-style asymmetrical grind. I never learned to use my left hand, so just contort and...

I really like the intertwiney cord wrap, Crash.

Actually, I mixed up 3 ounces of resin, then put shreds in a bit at a time, kneading it a bit until it was all pretty well covered, then plopped it onto my form. The form is a 3.5 by 9 inch board. ...

My 'day job' is making razors for Hart Steel. Now most people, myself included, wouldn't think that there's a very big market for straight razors, but apparently there is. I've been making razors...

I took a few pictures this afternoon by way of introduction:

Green canvas micarta and O-1: I carried this one around quite a...

Hi there, a few weeks ago a few synapses fired and a thought occurred to me.... hey, dollar bills are basically linen, and linen micarta is cool stuff....maybe I could use crashdive's resin process...

Hey everyone, thanks for the warm welcome. I'll post a couple of pictures over in the knife section.
