    Default Latest Knives

    I wanted to try my hand at a blade with a skeletonized handle. Now that I've tried it (drill and files) I'll probably not make many of these without access to some type of milling machine. The Crashcarta handle material is pretty thin to keep the weight down on the others. Gotta start making some pants for them.

    For not having a milling machine you did pretty darned well. That red handled one is just beautiful. Another great bunch of knives.

    Nice work Crash.

    Wow, you did that without a milling machine. If you have a good size drill press, you can get an attachment that in effect is an indexing table.

    Here ya go. http://www.harborfreight.com/garage-...ise-32997.html

    It ain't CNC, but it will work if you don't need tight tolerances.

    Good idea on the cross slide vice - I may have to give that a try in the future.

    Those are beautiful knives, Crashdive. They sort of remind me of Paklites, but a lot prettier.....

    Really cool! I bet that took some time without a milling machine lol

    The Buck Paklite was the inspiration for these.

    It took longer than I expected (I hate when work gets in the way of fun), but I finished up the pants for them.

    I like them. They all look rugged, no frills and functional. Nice work
