New guy

[Oldtoolmaker]

Hi I am new to this forum, but my love of knives and edged weapons has been with me for as long as I can remember of my 63 years, I have had the opportunity to make numerous edged weapons during my years as a toolmaker. I love Esee and Tops, got a bit of a hint if you have an Esee sheath that's tight, gently file the two raised pads of plastic to customize it to what you want, but don't over do it!

Welcome to the fold

Thanks for the welcome, I wish I was more savvy with my phone, can't post a pic of the 12" (total length) blade I made from bar stock L6, 6" tanto blade .25 thick with a hollow handle and 4140 skull crusher cap, you can hang on it with your body weight (180) !

Welcome O Oldtoolmaker

Have your son read this link on how to post pictures here. Because you are at the free membership level, you have to use a picture hosting site, only a paid member level can post pictures directly. Also, use this same link to practice posting pictures too, that’s what it’s there for.

Again, welcome to BladeForums, looking forward to seeing you here some more.

Link for how to post pictures and practice, all in one:

Welcome!
Just another note on photos - if you do find yourself wanting to post lots of pics, consider just spending the $10 for a year’s membership. Then you can post pics right from your phone (although you may need to resize them with an app like “Lower” or similar). I spent years on here before becoming a paid member and I wish now I’d done it a lot sooner…
