Those are stunning.

Great work! If you don't mind me asking, how did you finish the blade?

Thank you. I don't mind at all. Basically it's etched in ferric chloride and then tumbled in a rotary tumbler with windex and ceramic media. I throw in some other rocks to make it a little more random.

I like the knife, but if I were you - I'd have a talk with Megan Opel

The trademark on the blade - YOUR name, should be much more visible than her name.

If you paid for that image, it should serve your purposes of advertising or magazine publishing and that includes not having her name on it at all.

Have a look at how Sharp by Coop does it.
He produces it with clear text for knife and photo credits, but for magazine publishing, also does a version with no credits at all.

Meagan Opel happens to be my wife so that's an easy conversation for me to have lol. I don't mind it on these images because I'm mainly trying to help her get her name out there a little. Mostly these images are for instagram. I agree though that the placement of her watermark on this one is a little conspicuous.
She's been a photographer for awhile and had pictures posted in several magazines, websites, etc. so I won't pretend to know more about the licensing and credits thing than she does. I had her study a lot of Coop's work so maybe I'll have her look at some more images. Thank you for bringing it up, though. I know she's wanting to improve however she can.

Recently began trying my hand at making slip joints. Here's successful numbers 2, 3, and 4. Not sure how many failures there have been...around 3 or 4 also.

Those are great!
I hope to make some slip joints some day.
 
1075 chopper with tapered tang in the works.
Had a forged in fire style flare up. I can't say I liked it at all! Leave that stuff for television.

Very nice. Exactly what I'm hoping to achieve on a similar project. I don't have sound at the moment so I don't know if you said in the video, what alloy is that?

There is no question who the maker is, it's right there in the caption.


The large photo takes up the full space available in the photo on a fairly plain background
This makes it easier to see the details of the knife in the photo.

Your picture doesn't show for some reason. Here is one she just did after I brought it up.
