First five photos - folder!
last one finger! :eek: don't look!

I have about 14 hours into this one so far and am really excited to get going!


















Sometimes you gotta take one for the team, lol. :D I was close and just wrapped this up in a paper towel and kept on working. It really didn't hurt very much... looks nasty!

:D Thanks! lol a blood sacrifice must be made!!! either that or I should pay more attention loading belts on the horizontal grinder :D

All blood will be ground off, I can't leave any DNA evidence if you know what I mean. :p


Much appreciated!

I love everything except the clip

Thanks!

The clip can easily change, it is a standard 3 hole pattern... I have some wider clips that I'll use for most of them. :D
 
Nice man! Don't jones out too hard at once, fingers are important! Beer o'clock for you!
 
that's a good looking blade -- looking forward to the finished product.

Thanks! :cool:

I probably was too tired after many hours at the mill/grinder (and excited! :D ) as I am not really even sure how I cut myself! The KMG is chamfered nicely, the edge of a belt may have been the culprit.

Beer o'clock yes! :D cheers!
 
Wow Dan, I hope that gets cleaned up and doesn't get infected :(

They look great !!!
 
I looked at the pictures and thought, "What's that button towards the front of the knife by the pivot?" Then I realized it was the stop pin. That's some seriously beefy hardware you're using on that bad boy! Looks great so far and I wish you quick healing for the finger.
 
I'll take mine bloody i'm not scared : ) Thanks for posting the pics Daniel, these are gonna be sweet. What's the OAL? close to 9"?
