Introducing myself + first knife

like that grind!

Really nice touch on the micarta handle shape up front, too.

Just so you know, your social life is over.

It's that bad, huh? Hahah, my girlfriend is not going to be happy. :D Besides work, I finish my last final for school Monday and won't have to worry about that again until the end of January. I'll have a lot of time to grind.

I have 36" of A-2 on the way, and I'll definitely be sending them your way. :cool:
 
Nice one. I can tell you have had some time at Ban's shop. That convex edge looks great. I would love to hang with Ban and have him give me some convex tips. I have done three of my busse's convex by hand with sandpaper, and am working on my FBMLE convexing it by hand (tedious task, but not ready to try that one on a belt sander yet).
 
Hahah, yeah, Ban did have a big influence on that knife. He's become a good friend of mines and even down the line when I get better, he'll still have a big influence on my stuff because he taught me his philosophy in knife making (otherwise I wouldn't come near a belt sander), and I love his work.
 
I'm very sorry you stepped onto this path. Best thing to do is teach your girlfriend to do leatherwork. :D

Welcome to craft. :D
 
Hrm. Maybe we should have a norcal convex edge meeting!

No comment on the leatherwork. Actually, hell, sierra is dying for an opportunity to do photos and work up a how to .....
 
I'm in San Jose, but go to Davis often (my friends are at UC Davis) or pass by it when we go snowboarding in Tahoe.

We do have gathering/meets in SJ. It started off as a Busse chopfest, but anything goes now. Here are some pictures from previous meets.
