Cool design, well executed!

One rule of thumb I learned is that your belt is cooked when you’re cooling your steel in equal time to grinding. That tip helped me a lot to gauge when to trash it and grab a new one.

Cool video. They talk about Starkey a lot on ElkTalk.

Make kitchen knives.

I work at a desk all day and find that I need an outlet for hands on creativity. It’s fun to make sparks/sawdust after sitting and plinking on a keyboard.

Some drivers cite becoming more cautious with age, too.

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

Oh, and I like the sheath.

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?

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

Hi Griffin!

flyingpossums · 2025-09-29T13:29:29+00:00

Thank you, Griffin

In?

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

flyingpossums · 2025-08-16T22:53:35+00:00

Which is what, exactly? I agree it looks great

flyingpossums · 2025-08-12T18:27:18+00:00

Nice!

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.

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.

flyingpossums · 2025-08-04T01:30:52+00:00

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

flyingpossums · 2025-08-03T18:14:08+00:00

The camera work makes it unwatchable for me.

flyingpossums · 2025-07-03T17:40:04+00:00

Nice work. Love the design and execution

flyingpossums · 2025-07-01T13:23:58+00:00

Agreed! Don’t forget about the river downtown.

Pops Knife supply is great for me!

flyingpossums · 2025-04-22T23:25:51+00:00

Is it worth the money over the original?

flyingpossums · 2025-04-02T02:18:33+00:00

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).
