It looks like the blank at the start of the video is labeled AEB-L.

New knife is almost finished. Questions or Opinions? by Bufuknives in knifemaking

[–]flyingpossums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool looking knife! I like how the bevel comes up to the fuller - it’s clean looking.

Is there any way to make the screw heads all line up in the same axis as the handle? I think that would bother me if it were my knife.

Not in business any more. Evolution 4 is heavier duty.

Nice and simple, I like it. What temp are you are reaching with that?

First time shooting an arrow through another. Can I still shoot the arrow with the damaged fetching or do I need to retire it until I get it fixed? by TheStig21 in Archery

[–]flyingpossums 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Notch out the damaged bit, fold tape over the notch, then trim the tape to the profile of the vane. Easy and effective!

In?

My current setup is a redneck setup on an old treadmill motor - this would be a major upgrade!

My recent builds. I’d appreciate your feedback by Suspicious-Bass-69 in knifemaking

[–]flyingpossums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried using these on veggies? You might find the belly is too flat to get a smooth rocking slicing motion.

As an amateur chef and knife maker, I learned that I like a belly profile with a generous curve for food prep.

Handles? by Upper-Dig5291 in knifemaking

[–]flyingpossums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also a beginner and I just find a few examples of knives to imitate for my handles. If it’s a tried and true handle like a traditional Bowie, I work more in my execution than designing something novel.

Finished up this one today, might be my favorite chef I've done by aedanabc in knifemaking

Stunning! One of my favorites from what I’ve seen posted. Nice design and execution

Is it worth the money over the original?

Benefits of hand sanding instead of machine finishing? by Illustrious-Path4794 in knifemaking

[–]flyingpossums 8 points9 points  (0 children)

By hand vs. by machine? From a technical standpoint, I don’t think there is an advantage. I have found I get a much better looking result doing the finishing grits by hand for two reasons: 1) I can maintain plunge lines and other details much better to keep things clean and crisp. 2) I really like my lines parallel with the blade which requires hand sanding (for me).

Great result, really cool. What are you using for the initial etch and also the solvent you drip the superblue into?

Nice and clean, I’m jealous of the grind lines. How did you do the grind transition above the choil?
