:cool: Much appreciated! The other day I was grinding and I thought I heard something outside and answered the door (not thinking)... holding the pointy one wearing my full face respirator, headphones and wearing a hoody with the hood on, lmao!!! 15"+ chopper and I'm standing behind a pile of crazy tube and stuff... too bad it wasn't the Jehovias Witnesses!

You're tripping dawg! That is a hexagonal grind.

They are all a shallow hollow grind. Tough yet slicey! I like to keep my hollow grinds gradual with the 10" wheel and make them taper over the whole grind as opposed to being thinner behind the edge.

I turned a hollow into a flat grind the other day to see what the difference was (in metal removal) and it took three passes to go back to a flat grind. Of course there are different ways to do it...

The new one with the skeletonized handle is the new Ti Backpacker. It is nearly weightless and you can wrap the handle with cord and remove it later. The hole in the handle also doubles as a bottle opener! Fixed blade, great size, well under an ounce!!!

Awesome. I may be in the market for one of those Ti backpackers as well. Are you planning to anodize them?

Thanks!

I do plan on anodizing some and will stonewash the rest.

If you want one just let me know here later and I will custom anodize it for you. I can do solid colors, fade and multicolor anodizing.
 
I liked the bright green to blue anodizing you did on the bottle opener knives. That would be ultra cool :)
 
WOOO HOOOO! So many knives!

I gotta say, those two choppers are sick! Love the 'dashi too, I've been making a bunch like that. Those Ti backpacking knives are awesome sauce as well!

That shop looks clean enough to eat in! (unlike mine) :p

Quick question for you, where do you buy a granite block like that? I've been wanting something similar to make sure my center scribe lines for double ground blades are actually centered!

Have a Merry Christmas!

Much Thanks! Merry Christmas too! :cool:

For the granite surfacing block I went with Woodcraft, it was $10 off over $25 so I got some Blackwood scales for free in a way... :D

Also check Grizzly, they have really good prices on them. I already want another in the house for leatherwork.

Congrats on the granite plate. Looks like you got the one just like mine. You just can never have only one can you ;)?

That Havok is just incredible. I really wish I had a use for more than one big blade.

I agree, I need more! An edge scriber is next along with some other layout gear.

Thanks on the Havok! It will look killer when finished... black/grey G10 scales are going on it and I love those.

Perfect! I'd love to have #001.
 
The backpacker looks great. I'm thinking a stonewashed finish would look great and reduuce signs of use. Guess I'll be needing one please! :D
