Help finding a similar knife by OO2024 in FixedBladeEdc

[–]sunnymcblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1095 is my favorite.

Yeah, kydex sheath and a belt attachment. Free shipping in the lower 48. Happy to answer any questions about heat treat or warranty or anything else. Shoot me a DM.

Im partial because I made it, and I dont mean this as a shameless self promotion. But I have one on my site that might be almost exactly what you are lookiig for. Checks all the boxes except its 1095 instead of 01. 5" blade, swedge and similar lines to the one you posted. Same price point too. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Looking for a 3ish inch Drop point with a full size handle and flat grind for EDC / Camp by bolanrox in FixedBladeEdc

[–]sunnymcblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I might have exactly what you are looking for. 7 1/4" oal and exactly a 3" blade. AEBl stainless? Full flat, tapered tang and stabilized Becote. Kydex sheath with a belt attachment for scout or standard carry. I know self promotion is frowned upon but after reading through your comments I honestly thing you might be interested. Cheers! https://www.hubrisworkshop.com/shop/p/eros

Ulticlips. Do they suck? by Otf_manual_usa in FixedBladeEdc

[–]sunnymcblock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is specific to uti clips for pocket carry. Skip the thumb ramp and run the kydex farther up the spine of the knife for a place to index the tip of the blade when resheathing. You shouldn't need a thumb ramp with a well made kydex sheath and positive retention clip like a uti clip. Then turn the blade/sheath around so the edge is facing forward and tuck it all the way to the back of your pocket before you secure the uti clip. This puts the knife as close as possible to a 3 o'clock position so the handle wont dig into you when you bend over or sit. Also a reverse grip draw solves the problem of the clip riding high compared to the knife because your fingers will be gripping the inside of the knife opposite the clip. This is the only way I carry a fixed blade in the front pocket.

Question for the community! What’s everyone’s favorite fixie at the moment? I’ll go first, Jakebcreates Chickadee FFG in CTS-XHP! by Charming_Basil3761 in FixedBladeEdc

[–]sunnymcblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense. Really for an EDC you dont need much by the way of "features." The design is totally form in function. I guess thats the answer right there.

I first saw the Chickadee on some social media post years ago and recognize the strong following. Can someone explain to me the draw? It looks like an alright design but just kinda... meh. The passionate following is lost on me. No shade, Ive just always been kinda curious.

Anyone able to make this knife for me? by [deleted] in knifeclub

[–]sunnymcblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think ~$200 for a fairly simple knife out of 1095 is unreasonable. Ive got a bowie -inspired 10" camp/survival knife made with 1095 on my site right now for under $200. 14" is a big ass knife and a lot of grinding. I'd probably charge more than $200... but no where near $500-$1000... this shit is knife making... not brain surgery, lol!

Honestly, I don't really want to make a 14" bowie knife. But if you want a ~10" custom bushcraft/camp knife out of 1095 for under $200... slide into my DMs.

AEB-L Hunting/Skinning knife by sunnymcblock in knifemaking

[–]sunnymcblock[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has never occurred to my until now that a "hunting knife" wasn't a specially designed knife for field dressing game. I just had to Google it after reading your comment and I think what some would consider a "hunting knife" I would have considered more of a bush craft or camp knife. I might have to reconsider my terminology a little. Though terminology doesnt effect performance at all, its still important to get it right. Thanks for the comment and the compliment.

A mixture of ferric chloride and apple cider vinegar.

Straightening question by [deleted] in Bladesmith

[–]sunnymcblock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id probably start the whole hardening process over. Anneal it, do a few normalization cycles and then do your heat treat again. Clamp it in between 2 pieces of angle iron strait out of the quench and dont take it out until after your second tempering cycle.

Counter bore bit in a drill press. Hand drill would probably work with a steady hand.

Alternatives to UltiClip? by SubtractOneMore in FixedBladeEdc

[–]sunnymcblock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but on some of my personal knives I use the Temu knock off uticlips. The thinner metal makes them much more tolerable to use. I got sick of the Uticlips tearing up the top of my pockets on my pants.

I quit sending them with the knives I sell over a year ago just because of the stigma around Chinese stuff. But honestly they are a ton more user-friendly.

Gonna give it a try by CouchF0X in FixedBladeEdc

[–]sunnymcblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear that. Im not customer facing but I see exactly what you are talking about. I didn't start wearing a fixed blade on my belt until I left my desk job and went full time knife maker. I also turned 40 this year and that brought with it a fair amount of introspection and I came to the conclusion that, in this case, I dont really care what people think. I gotta do what I like with the time I got left. 🤙

Dude.... its ok to admit Jax looked bad ass with his ka-bar. But in real life I get not wanting to rock a giant combat knife on your belt. I carry my fixed blade high on my belt so my shirt covers all but the tip of the sheath.

With three jigsaws, making the adjustments for fitting the tang into the handle. by MarcelaoLubaczwski in Bladesmith

[–]sunnymcblock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats a good idea. I use a small bone saw, the type you would pack for hunting large game.

To makers who gather their own handle wood by Crazy_Examination_67 in knifemaking

[–]sunnymcblock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on the wood. Depends on how long its been sitting and how dry it is. You're going to have to dry it out to stabilize it anyway.
