Hi guys!
For the record: Daniel will have my S.S.I.K. folder ready shortly. THIS knife will be my permanent EDC, a Fairly knife!
There are "other" knives but they are not Fairlys. :)
And Lambo, that's a great practice... see one you like then get it.

Uuummmm, nope. She's got marks on her from the ten foot pole. That's one crazy lady. CRAZY. I try to avoid conversation with her, but still run into her all the time. Its ok though, we all have one like that...

Maybe consider buying everything and running th wire yourself and save the hookup and final inspection for an electrician to save on labor hours. I have some friends in the trade still, I could make some calls if you want.

Haha I have had four or five like that. I am lucky I found Jen when I did. I would probably be dead or in prison:D Please make what ever calls you can. I just got my 2nd estimate and it wasn't any cheaper than the first.
 
Mornin' Daniel. How's things?

Doing well!

I have spent the day grinding a Nakiri with Ura...mega advanced grinding 101! :D It is literally scary sharp, kind of frightens me. :eek:

Good luck with the electric, I know it will be worth it.



I've been on this Nakiri all day like a maniac, lol Sara ran some food down to the shop even. I'm excited, it can be sharpened by laying flat on a stone and sharpening the Ura side... takes about two seconds to sharpen.
 
Yo Rolf, congrats on your SSIK bro and I heard it's sharp....don't cut yourself!:D

Enjoy the evening guys!
 
WooHoo! Its my Friday!

I'm gonna prototype a couple designs and see how they feel. Paint stir sticks are great for that.

Just got a box of some cool phenolic handle material to try out. I'm thinking its gonna be good stuff! Its secret stash from a bud.


Went out back last night to hunt for rats in the almond tree, brought a hipster of Sailor Jerry with me. Watched the full moon rise and fell asleep for a couple hours in the chair! It was so nice out! Felt kind of nice to do that. Pleasantly surprised that I didn't see nor hear any rats at all.

Hey everyone! I'm brand new to the forums; wound up here while researching something tough and sexy to be my new wood-working EDC. Stumbled across the iconic DF Kiridashi, and now I can't wait to get my hands on one :)

Then of course I scrolled through the entire pic thread, and eventually got my jaw off the floor sometime later. I cannot believe the beauty in Daniels work, and I cannot believe I hadn't looked into handmade knives before now! Hopefully I'll be around enough to snag a few DFKs and talk with you awesome folks!
 
Welcome Kragg!

Daniel does a good job chewing on metal bars to make some pointy and slicey stuff. Where do you drop your anchor?

Official check in is every morning, but no one knows what time :p


Evening guys!

FJ, love me some dogfish head! Never disappointed. About your rat question, google doesn't recognize the language you used, so translation is not possible. Care to expand it a bit?

Haha I'm from California. Born in the Inland Empire, going to college in Humboldt.

He certainly does! And I want ALL OF THEM. I just have to keep telling myself to start slow for the sake of my poor wallet. It's lost weight this summer, and not in the sexy way.

I guess it was technically a mouse but whatever

Hi Kragg! I think Daniel has a custom style Damascus kiridashi going, but that won't help your pocket book. He just sold his batch of 8 steel Kiridashis a week or so ago. The wait will give you time to save!
 
Kragg, what have you the idea for a kiridashi? I'd never heard of one til I got on the DFK subforum

Meeting a sprinkler guy at 7:30. Son woke up and crawled through a surprise puddle of dog piss. Anybody want a wiener dog? She's, uh, house trained and, uh...
 
Kragg! Welcome! Thanks too... we have a lot of fun here.

It sounds like you are in a nice area, I looked into Northern Cali, we have lots of family in the LA area. Good to see you here!


Lambo I hope hey get that weenie dog fixed! lol something like that


Xander do you get many almonds off the tree? cool stuff!


Lycosa I'm looking out for the letter... we got the mail finally, lol!


Farchyld I got in my piece of 3V from NJSTeelBaron!



I would up working on the Nakiri all day yesterday... managed to grind a chopper too. The Nakiri looks simple but the back hollow or Ura was so hard it was nuts... Japanese Knife Terminology - http://zknives.com/knives/kitchen/misc/usetype/all/index.shtml I mentioned the Nakiri being sharp, lol I was testing the edge and cut right into my thumb. It didn't even hurt but man it's swollen. It will cut phonebook paper slowly! fast too, lol

Phonebook Paper, The Paper of Champions! - Jimmy Fikes

I ordered more stuff for the folders but still need my detent bearings, sourcing supplies has been a challenge lately. My last two orders have taken over two weeks each... you guys remember that Ti I bought for frickies, hasn't even shipped and it has been 10 days. I'm not too worried about it but you guys have to wonder, lol. Washers, bearings, stencils must be ordered soon! :D

Natural canvas micarta with black liners will be used on some of the upcoming camp knives!

My last round of Gator belts were defective... more belts in too!

I'm going to get some pics too if at all possible, luckily we have been getting a ton of rain but I want some outdoor pics... the Bushcraft knives and a few more are about ready to go.
