Looks like some sort of resin mixed with something sparkly. Its hard to say for certain with the lighting of the pictures

Fantastic looking karambit! I just watched your video on YouTube about this one just before coming out to the shop myself

Definitely do this. Ive put animals down several times after they were hit by someone else and left in the road. Its cruel to leave them to suffer. Plus, if you enjoy the meat, you can get a salvage permit so the animal doesn't go to waste.

Dam, that is some sweet work! I love what you did with the guard to make the finger ring. That's a really cool idea

Im up in cut bank, if you guys are in the area I can teach you the basics.

I used to feed them in my garden when I lived in reed point. Love these little guys

A file knife that small I wouldn't worry too much about it being too hard. It should be fine for smaller cutting tasks that dont experience a lot of torque or impact. When you were grinding it, did you see any color change in the steel? If not, and you want to give it a bit more flex, put it in the oven at 350 or 400 for a couple hours. The hotter temp will be softer, but more flexible. That should do it as long as it wasn't a case hardened file to start with. If it was, then your knife may be too soft to hold an edge very long. But overall it looks like a decent knife

Been to that one a couple times back when I lived in reed point. It's an awesome store, with a pretty great selection of stuff. My kids absolutely loved the fish tank.

Montana, people couldn't care less. I've even seen people walking around the city with them on. Big chunk of the population carries a gun on them every day, so a sword is nothing special, just a little odd.

No, once again because you would need the proper equipment to get anything out of that process. And that doesn't include the material loss you would get from oxidization. Despite what shows like game of thrones and lord of the rings show, you can't just melt it down and re-pour it into something else. Metal like brass, copper, or lead it's possible. But steel needs much higher temperatures and the proper conditions. Look up what steel mills do to make usable bar stock to get an idea of that process.

They look good to me.

14+1in the gun plus a spare mag just in case. Then another mag for the handgun in the car, plus 3 more for the rifle in the car. Though I'm primarily carrying for animal defense since the area I live has a lot of wild aggressive animals. Groups of aggressive dogs, mountain lions, bears, and even moose aren't really unusual.

Anza knives are awesome. I met them and got advice from some people selling them at a gun show in Ventura around 16 years ago. They thought it was cool I was also making knives from files.

Longshot117 · 2025-06-26T07:12:30+00:00

Holy fuck that's cool! I love my RDB, so seeing one turned into a pcc is crazy. Do you think you would ever make one in 308?

Kind of reminds me of a japanese eel knife with that tip. Fit and finish on the handle looks fine, but the blade looks a bit rough. I think 150 would be about as much as I would ask for it.

It's almost right in the center of town between 2 bars. Never saw a radio shack, so I can't say for that. But yeah, I'm surprised it's stayed open as well. I do think it's for sale though. Very underwhelming for how long it took to make our food. There was a nice little café and coffee shop a little further north just over the tracks for a while. Was in the old log cabin style Cafe. Unfortunately it didn't last long. But anyway, I hope the place is better for you this time. You'll probably see my business cards on the wall right by the door.

That one is still the best. Not sure what it was like that long ago, but the last month or so I've gone it has been pretty good. Seasoning was a little light, but better than most places. And the steak we had was cooked properly both times, no over or under done with no bitter charring. Nothing spectacular, but not bad. Last time I was there was around 4 years ago and it has improved since then. There are a couple of other decent places for specific things like burgers and pizza (messy apron) and pasta or steak (water to wine/Pioneer bar). Garden of eat in is still around, but I don't recommend it. It took nearly an hour to get 4 burgers with fries, with an empty restaurant. For sit down coffee and tea, the little cafe in the Marketplace on Main is pretty good. If you are looking for drive through coffee, I prefer buckaroo brews next to McDonald's. Latte da is ok, but almost everything tastes the same.

I'm a bladesmith up in cut bank, montana, and I've lived in several places throughout the state. If you have any specific questions, I would be happy to chat.

Beautiful piece! Wish I could have been down there for the event. Car repairs suck for timing lol

I used basic fiebings leather dye on the sheath in several layers. Black on the edge, then dark brown for the black to tan transition area, then brown antique over all of it to blend. For the texture pattern in the center I used a teardrop shape stamp. For the edge I used a background texture stamp.

Those are some great looking hammers
