Water Jet cutting?

do you smile or frown upon it. I have a full time job and cutting out profiles is really no big deal. I go through a belt with every profile i do and it gets expensive and if i use up all my belt while i am on a roll then it really sucks. The closest store that carries the size i need is sears and thats about 30-40 minutes from my house. I was thinking that when i get alot of requests for a particular style of knife whick i am getting now. This could help cut some time from the whole process. I have read about greatlakeswj. If this is gonna keep me from calling my knives hand made then i will just stick to the old ways. What say you?

it is only wrong if you lie to your customers
 
It's not how it's made but what how it ends up.
As a note for the record, so far, I do all of mine by hand. Frank

Bruce is absolutely right, just call Dave. He'll hook you up for "one piece or thousands" like it says on his site. I just snail-mailed him a paper template cut to my design and my blanks came out great.

Does he have to convert your drawing to CAD? If so, dies he charge extra for that? How much extra?

Good point, sir. After the end of a shift in the shop, I have to shower (obviously) and brush my teeth, and I can still taste steel.

James,

Try sprinkling a little salt in your mouth (not much) to get rid of the steel taste. It works for me.
