Mace, I've got two more that I've been working on today and one where the blades is 15" long that I still need to get straightend out and heat treated. I can just barely get it in my oven. The one I had at Blade with the bamboo handle went to China.

Did you mark it "Made in the USA" or "Made FOR China" ??????

By the way, those Bamboo-za-la knives were beautiful. I really like the looks of that stuff.

haven't made a knife from it yet, will be starting a twist pattern bowie with it and 15&20 when I get in off the rig. Played with it a little bit and looks to be good stuff.

Ray, That knife was sweet. I would sure love to watch you forge....you can pull a lot of steel out of that bar. Nice to see you at the show.

Come on lets see those pics.

Finishing one up right now , should be complete in the next 24 hrs or so . The Blade that is , I'll still need to Sheath it ( Gosh Darn those *&#%!! things ) The leather one's anyway , they fight me most of the way. It's so hard for me to put a Forged Blade in a Kydex Sheath . I know,sounds like a personel problem eh ? Just one of many . Anyway,I'll post a pic in the next day or so . Just a worker,so don't expect much............ Hey , I heard that!

Mace, If you can make it Blade West I'll be doing the forging demo. I just wish I could get alittle more steel out of the 1" bar.

Robert, Who know Mace probably got the steel from China. I thought it was ironic that I sold a knife to Chinese dealer with a bamboo handle. I'll be doing more.

Here is a pic of that Blade that I'm still working on. I still have some work to do on the Handle & Blade;touchmark too.Sheath.I wanted to post anyway to try and keep this thread alive.Comments & criticism welcome. Specs: Steel ;1084 (of course ) The Blade ended up @ about 1/8" thick & at it's widest point is 1 3/16" OAL is 7 3/4" Full Tang Construction with Green Canvas Micarta & Red Spacer , a couple NS pins & tube with a mosaic in the center. It feels really good in the hand. Thanks again guys for getting this material . I'm looking forward to seeing some more pics from others . Thanks
