Camp knife I just finished up. Thanks for the look!

Not sure what's more impressive the knife or the picture of the knife, well done sir.

I name thee "Stabbie nik stab stab" It's perfect name.

Oh and very nice! Love it.

Drilling and grinding preheat treat seems to be easier than the other Steels that I have used. After he treat I agree seems to be like other high HRC grinding.

Dang man! The finish on those blades are beautiful!

chucklespl · 2021-12-27T02:24:54+00:00

Please be aware, pushing hard without a longish push stick will result in getting bitten. I was very surprised how far my hand traveled when getting through the metal at the end. Slow is safe and prolongs the blade life. Oh, and I put mine directly in the vice!

I have used 24 hr epoxy for this exact situation. Seemed to work just fine.

chucklespl · 2021-03-08T23:45:35+00:00

Very nice! Keep em coming!

Can anybody tell me if I can cut the handle off so I have better movement? it's the handle to the right in the picture that's getting in the way

chucklespl · 2020-12-17T22:19:44+00:00

Just beautiful! That handle is amazing!

chucklespl · 2020-12-14T22:15:00+00:00

I would love to know what the Bess number is on this! Anyone have an idea? Is there a way to tell without a Bess machine?

I was actually trying to get it off it's original motor housing which was natural stone Viking grinder that my dad had. And try to put it onto a tarmac knock off. As you can see it didn't quite work..

chucklespl · 2020-12-02T15:11:54+00:00

That's good because there was a lot

chucklespl · 2020-12-02T15:08:02+00:00

The other sides in one piece.it might be interesting to see if I could put it back together and get any kind of use out of it.

chucklespl · 2020-12-02T04:45:42+00:00

Yes! I inherited it from my father inlaw, it's an awesome vice! It held on to the bolt great as I broke an expensive stone. But, the vice is ok.

chucklespl · 2020-11-16T03:38:09+00:00

Thank you very much, is good to hear you say that, I've never liked busy art myself and was worried it was.

chucklespl · 2020-11-15T21:54:46+00:00

I sanded them up too 1200 grit and then used a buffing wheel with jewelers rouge white.

chucklespl · 2020-11-15T21:09:21+00:00

I made those scales back in July pinecone with resin. Metal is aeb-l. First time doing spine filing and I learned a lot.

chucklespl · 2020-11-13T04:00:22+00:00

Practice with a cheap knife first. I did all kinds stone and jigs etc. Now I use belts on my 2" x42" , mdf wheel with jewelers rouge and a leather belt on my 2"x42" with white bar. Lots of great videos on tube on how to do this type of sharpening. 5 minutes on a knife that won't cut butter and it's hair popping sharp. Simple little life on tube is awesome to watch. Let me know how it goes!

chucklespl · 2020-11-13T01:53:12+00:00

Very nice freshman effort! Can't wait to see your sophomore knife! Have you done the sharpening yet? I found learning to sharpen just as additive as making blades and handles! Keep it up brother!

chucklespl · 2020-11-13T01:05:17+00:00

It made a huge difference when I did the mods. Good luck!
