drop point just finished up as first full freehand. Hate to say it but this one was easier than using my old jig

Customer came to pick up a small kitchen cleaver, I saw him handling it with "too much" care, so I asked, do you want to really use your new knife?

I went to my workbench, picked up a small piece of 3/16" aluminum rod and using a mallet hammered it until it splitted (if you pay attention on the last blow you will see the other half flying away)

I guess he is now confident of his new tool :D

Drop point hunter just finished up as my first full freehand. Very pleased and much easier than using a jig and much cleaner results.

Lots of folders in the shop... here's my latest, a one off 4" blade Kwaiken.

I cut the lockbar on this one with an inexpensive abrasive wheel on the mill. It was my first time to do so and went nicely. I used a Forney wheel at 11OO rpm then finished the cut with a combo of hacksaw, band saw then cleaned up with jewelers files and sandpaper.


Cat scratch finish!






Customized AKS pivot... carved, polished, wire wheeled and heat colored.

Been pretty busy lately. I haven't had a lot of shop time but I have been working on a puukko. These are pretty new for me but I'm definitely enjoying it I have also been finding Instagram easy for sharing progress pictures. Here are a few
