Beautiful knife Joe, outstanding!! Excellent grind lines and the decorative holes are a very nice touch! Man you got the false edge down perfect! Is that the hint of traction grooves I see on the spine where the thumb would rest? I'm not a big Kerambit fan but this one is most impressive! How bout the Steel Talon or the Iron Talon?
 
Great. But I second question on the hole. Seems like it should be pretty simple, but just trying to work things out in my head the finger holes like that have me stumped. Least, to get them nice and even like that. could always use biggest drill bit and then round out with dremel but that's not exactlyw hat I'm lookin for. :)
 
Joe, Really Cool! Is it true that you made that in case Indian George came at you with his hot relish!!!!! :D :D :D

I'm not sure how Joe (Chisel) made his hole but they aren't difficult. Find a bi-metal hole saw in the size you want. These are not the cheap wood multi-hole saws you find at the local home store. These are very tough, high quality metal hole saws that will cost $10 to $15 apiece. I've used Blue-Mol(sp?) to cut holes like that with ease. There are several good brands out there. These are purchased by specific size and generally come with a pilot drill bit arbor that screws into which ever hole saw size you are using. Back up your work piece with a flat piece of wood. Make sure you clamp your blade *very securely* as they really want to helicopter when they start to break through. A little sand paper cleans up the edges.
 
Well thanks for making me feel stupid on not being able to figure that out myself tmickley. ;)

Used them for years making speaker enclosures and other things(well, not bimetal, but hole saws in general), but for some reason I never thought of that.
 
I tried a 3/4" Lennox bimetal holesaw on ti in my drill press at the slowest speed. Flooded with coolant and backed by wood I got no more than three holes before it was completely burned up. Finally got some holes MILLED and they were flawless. Now, how is Joe doing his??? :)

IG, Joe and I never sleep, that's our secret! ;)
 
thanks for the feed back! and the kind works guys!
:)
as far as the hole goes..that was easy i used a bi-metal hole saw w/a 1/4"arbor,and i cleaned it up with a drum sander on the dremel
and YES Please do clamp down the blade... i know all about the helicopter trick all too well:eek: i learned about that very early on when i tried my hand at making knives!
Rene...im working on one just for that special event...George's Relish doesn't stand a chance!:D :p :p :p
 
joe, what do you mean it does stand a chance?? because when you eat my relish you have to stand because you are afraid to sit down.:o :o :o
