Enjoy!



Grinding Room! Where the dirty work happens. It's kind of like the desert, I have a sandy section on the left and everything on the right is covered in oil. :D

This 8x12 room contains just about everything I need to take a bar of steel and get it looking like a knife.

KMG Grinder, Horizontal KMG, Drill Press, Chop Saw, Tile Saw, Blasting Cab/Compressor, Buffer, Dust Collector and a few things I forgot...




Clean Room - Files, Stat!




On the wall...
Massive trailing point, two 3v Backpackers, 2 A2 tantos, Kukrichete, Chef's Knives and More... All heat treated!



Kogotanas! Heat treated and getting closer



 
kurkchete??? hmmm whats the plan there? :D more details!
 
Are the 3v backpackers going to have scales or just skeleton handles? One with jade scales and stonewashed would be totally awesome!

Scales on those two, Jade G10 sounds great. I might keep the other one. :)

Much appreciated! The floor is always dirty but I'm getting closer to organization. :)

I can only be a success with the support I get here, thanks!

Thanks! I'll have to get some more pics to show the whole shop and my heat treat shop is in another building... I posted pics of it a month ago or so.

The rest of it is mostly storage... handle material, steel, pins, etc. I also have a mini mill, hf drill press and a table covered in knives. :D
 
Daniel, I didn't know you play the drums also! I see that bass drum case in the back...

There is a drum set just out of the frame... I used to play a lot. I'm into music in general and play just about everything mostly alternating between drums and guitar.

Do you play?

t's a 1970's Ludwig 5 piece set up as a 4... old Zildian cymbals.



Daniel- do all of the kogatanas have home lined up for them? I'm interested if not.

Nice work space though!

Thanks! They are not spoken for besides one I am giving away, I bet we can make it happen...

Yup, I play the drums as well, and toured for a bit in a punk rock band....oh the good ol' days.

I play a 4-piece set up as a 4-piece ;) with a mix of Zildjian and Sabian. I always thought.....why stick to one brand or the other when both brands make awesome cymbals...
