Thanks folks. While I'm thinking about it, does anyone know where I can get a good deal on some G11?

 

[wagglebee]

Kerry that is amazing, I love the swedge.

You've brought a Tear to my eye, Kerry!!

One of my favorite old patterns, and nicely executed, including that wild and crazy Swedge!!

Google is your friend. But, not for G-11, at least Margarita Green as defined by KnifeHead.

I'd be happy to buy a couple hundred pounds of your G-11 if Kerry would trade it for the teardrop jack.

Actually, I think I have enough of it to make about 1000 knives...just sayin. I know who to ask if I ever need any though.

Kerry,

Love your teardrop Jack! Swedges are over the top!:thumbup:
Just wondering, what do you use to cut your long pulls in with?

Thank you for the huge compliment.

We have a block that clampS in the cross vice on the vertical mill. That is the vertical clamping surface for the blades. Then, a 2 3/4" slot cutting saw on a mandrel is used to cut the pull. I go in .050" for long pulls and crescent pulls in flats.

Kerry,

Thanks for the reply, BTW are we going to see a teardrop Jack with a pen anytime soon? If you decide to make one up, it will be a nice extension and mate to this one.

Looking over the jack again, I really like the rounding job you did on the bolsters.

Awesome teardrop! Do y'all get the bone from Case directly? Very nice!

Square corners are like "close but not quite". Square might be ok for X-locks but it ain't purdy on a slip joint. Dang...if you guys are looking that close at my work then I better keep it up...no slackin off now. Thank you, Ken.

I know of at least one more of these in my future and the crazy guy wants it with a punch.

That's the only source for it and you have to know people
