We got a ton of snow today, I checked this evening and it was around 8"! I hope you had a good one!

Here are some liners I glued up, I usually don't do liners but these new G10 ones are awesome.

Hey Daniel, I know you're glad to be getting to work on knives a little. Just curious, what are you glueing the
liners to? Do you have to glue the liners on before profiling the blade?
 
Morning men. Nice and fridgett here. Waiting oin spring!!!!! And a sweet big ol knife from Daniel.Wait till you see what we came up with!!!!!
 
Morning guys. The rain moved in a day early, I was looking forward to having a day off and it being dry. Oh well, we need the rain here. Last year we were 160% of normal for water levels and this year we are close to only 70% of normal. Can't say I'm too upset about all the sunshine we've been getting!

I'm gluing the G10 liners to either more G10 or micarta.

I profile the blade, drill the holes in the knife then the roughed out scales using pins for indexing... after that I heat treat the knife, shape the front and back of the scales, glue them up then grind the whole knife with roughed out scales to the final profile. Lol I hope that makes sense.

I get it now. Just couldn't figure out what you were gluing them to.
 
Morning y'all. At work already, so just a quick check in. Cool and clear this morning, 44* right now, but it will be back into the 60's in a few hours. Got the early shift today, maybe I can play with my new two brick forge today after work!

Morning men.Congratulations Daniel on having your shop pretty much completed. Well gotta run half way accross the U.P. today to get my wife,Daughter and my Military ID cards showing that I am 100% disabled from my service connected disabilities.Good thing is they have lots of stuff and programs for us disabled vets. Now my wife and daughter will have healthcare better than my old Blue Cross through the vetrans. I thank God everyday for getting this through because I am still fighting work for my duty disabilitiefor getting my back injured on the job. Tell you what the last 13 months have been rough mentallyso it feels good now t finaly have things going my way!!! Sorry to ramble.
 
rambler. :D ahhh its thursdays.. another day to... get through :D

I've been on a strop mission lately.. finding out how to really make the edges sharp.. I can say that I've successfully increased the sharpness with a belt grinder, sand paper on granite, and then stroping... on many of my knives.. I just haven't tried to improve the sharpness on my Bantang knives.. he makes em DAMN SHARP.

That .360 kwaiken I got from you Daniel... now pops hairs, oh yeah!

So when and what will be the next DFK creation? More oldtymers? More of these 3v fighters? something funky combo grind :D bring it on!
