nice compilation Crash. I like the knife in frames 3, 6, 7 and 16. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work, Crash.
Great knife compliation,Crash.
I normally don't like wood handles,those wood handles are something I would Buy...those are the best Ive ever seen,ever.
I like the blade profiles as well...seriously fine work.

RG, I have one of those knives shown in the video (pink handle) the pics really don't do them justice!Quote:

Ooh. Ooh and Armadillo. I have that one. Not the armadillo, the knife. Way cool, Crash.
sniff sniff one of those knives wast the late great Alaskan Bush Knife........sniff sniff.......,:crying:
OOOohh! shiny, pretty, can't decide what I liked the best Crashcarta o the wood handles. Looked like some coabola, and zebra wood very nice.
That sure is some beautiful work Crash. It's amazing what you can do with a rusty old piece of metal. You've got some really neat shapes with some of those.
I'm particularly fond of the hacksaw knife at 2:20. Seems like I remember it from this picture

I use mine a lot and they seldom need sharpening. It's surprising how handy the teeth are on the back when procuring materials, and then you flip it over and can carve with the same tool. Got one in my bag, and one on my keychain.
Nice, so how many have you made?
I'm not really sure.Quote:

I guess that's how addictions start--one thing at a time.
About half or so of those are no longer in my possession. I'm looking forward to getting back out to the shop.
Here's a technical question. Hypothetical, of course.
Say, you want a knife with a custom grip that fits your hand like a glove.
Do you start with a mold of sorts of the said grip (in wax, clay, etc),
or is the approach entirely different?
What natural materials best lend themselves to this?
(I've made molds before (bronze sculpture) by process of "lost wax" and one can probably do that for a knife handles if one wanted a metal one.)
IMO a lot of the fit of a knife handle is more of a personal preference. What's comfortable to one, may not be to another with similar sized hands. It's not something that I've tried (maybe Panch0, Camp10 or P Moore can weigh in) but if I had a mold of what was comfortable to a user I could probably get pretty close by alternating between the feel of a handle and the mold as I shaped it.
Love All the Knives ,Hope to Get to that Point In the Future. Soon I'll Be Trying My Hand at Making a Homemade micarta Since there's So many Possable Mixes of color and Lines when Making them . Keep up the great work .I'm Learning More and More Every day from everyone here.
Beautiful slide show of your work Crash! Just wondering if you've done one similar to #15 but with a shorter blade? I really like the proportions of that one.(Always been kind of partial to drop and spear points) Also your "Ulu" variation skinning knife(for lack of a better term.) is really cool too. Looks like it could both skin a deer, and prepare dinner! You are like fine wine... just get better the further you go!
Not sure if you saw this, but maybe it will help you with your micarta. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...memade+micartaQuote:

That 48" L6 sawblade makes me envious. I was given one, had it cut into strips, moved south without it.
I need some of that. Hook a brother up.
When I get back to using power tools I'll cut some for you. You just cover the shipping.Quote:

You've got a deal. I'll let you know when I can cut it up.Quote:

Easy on the eyes, That's for sure!
That came out great. I think the teeth on these are about 3.5" wide.
It's a massive axe. I threw it once and it knocked over my target.
Cool video, I have been wanting to do something similar, but don't know where to get started.
I would recommend first organizing all of your knife pictures on your computer into one folder. Then just select the images you want and import them into Windows Movie Maker, add the transitions you want, and publish. If I can help, let me know.Quote:
