New name, and whats going on in the shop

[jakehobackknives]

hay boys,
Just thought I would let yall know that I felt the need to change my name on here so that it would be a little easier for people to find me it was Kungfumo

it was about time to renew my knife maker membership anyhow!

The March whats going on in the Hoback shop thread stars here!

Got a couple more beta 5s done last week
This one has a hamon under the sandblast and tumble finish, just barely shows through thought it was kinda neat

PerSEVERance too

little more done on the war horse project with Chad

Jake, click on this link http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/profile.php?do=editusergroups to change your user group to Knifemaker.

Thanx!

 

[jakehobackknives]

Thanks Esav, totally forgot to change that part lol.

Glad to finally meet the real you Jake.

Knives look good. I especially like the spine of the handle in the second pic. :thumbup:

 

[jakehobackknives]

Thanks,
Figured after 8 or so years on here I should prob have my real name up there instead of a handle

I really like the knife in the third picture. I think it is a beat 5?

Really nice handles! How much does one of those knives run????

have you ever considered playing with roller bearings or a IKBS like system?

I have never sold a folder without a bearing system I dont use IKBS, I prefer captured bearings. You can see the bearings I use in the above pic just above the titanium frames for the War horse's Im working on.

Wow. Sorry about that. Cool. Where do you get them?
