Very cool, I was wondering if the videos would be long loading, but they loaded very quickly.
Great way to do a WIP. Will be looking forward to seeing more.

This video WIP is super, Kyle. You and Caleb are making it very enjoyable and educational.

Thanks for letting Kathy and I hang around your shop yesterday while you forged. It was a pleasure visiting with you, your mother and Caleb. The slide welding explaination was an added treat.

Your JS-test knives show your growing talents well, and have great variety. Anxious to see this sub-hilt to fruition.

Keep up the great work! :thumbup:

I'll ask the same question that the guy on youtube did. How do you get rid of the plate once you forge the billet?

I'll ask the same question that the guy on youtube did. How do you get rid of the plate once you forge the billet?

I left the scale on the plate so it didn't forge weld to the billet. After forge welding the billet I took the grinder and ground off the tack welds. Then I took a wedge and pushed it in between the billet and the plate separating the pieces.

Hi Andrew,

That is a very good question.

First of all would be my Mom and Dad for getting me into custom knives, for helping me and supporting me along the way and for bringing me into this world.

As for knife mentors there would be John White, Don Hanson, Steve Dunn, Steve Culver, Rusty Polk, Ron Newton, Brion Tomberlin, Kevin Jones, Paul Kessler, Jim Walker, Bert Gaston and Greg Neely. This list could go on because I've met many men who have been generous with their knowledge and for that I am grateful!
