Ok, He has a good setup where everything is stationed where it needs to be. He uses the Bader to profile and the Grizzly to grind. He grinds HARD! I swear Ive never seen a shower of sparks fly like that, its like he is using a cutoff wheel. I saw him cutout, profile, normalize, and grind three blades and it took maybe two hours with most of that at the forge. After that its to his handle shop. He has everything right close together so he can move from the glueing station to the bandsaw to the belt sanders and vice. He can do a handle in no time. It was fun to see

This was kinda going slow and showing chris the ropes and explaining alot,when i wanna get it done i can do it fast
thanks chris for sharing
 
Great knife Bill, Im suprised its still avialable!! Those rosewood burl handles are hard to come by-well you can find them but the high quality stuff is scarce and can be expensive. Awesome--Thanks-Marekz
 
Thanks Bill and Chris for the detailed explanation. Makes sense why you are so productive. Keep them sparks flying Bill! :D :thumbup:

Respect! I think it takes me as long to post up a knife for sale as it does for you to make one. Keep up the good work!
