Jake Hoback Knives Feb in the shop

[kungfumo]

I dont know if you guys even like to see this crap, but I figure it will give a little insight into my shop. I hope some one gets something out of this

Got these and about 10-15 more grinding this week
30-35 total

Been working on a bunch of A10 folders, a B2 for me, and an A15 for a brother here

No CNC for me, all manual wanted my B2 to be light!

More soon!

Damn, Jake! You're doing some very cool stuff. I always love your fixed blades but these folders are shaping up nicely! That has to take a fair amount of time to do all of that milling manually!! Nice work. Gives me hope that I can do some cool stuff with my manual mill with some practice.

Ooh, I hope one of those fixed blades is a 6" Perseverance!

 

[kungfumo]

Yes sr, couple 6"ers going out and a bunch of beta 5s!

Thanks Jonny, its fun playing on the mill. when you get the hand movements down its like playing on a huge etcher sketch that can kill you!

I'm very glad I wasn't drinking when I read this because I would have spit it all over my phone. Lol literally.

any real machinist would be laughing at me if they saw the crap I have done Some already have, like when I didnt have any clamps so I ratchet strapped a alum block to the vice so I could mill and angle.

I'm a hack, but getting better!
