A really nasty thinned out double edged shiv in Blackwood.
 
This is a Ed Fowler camp knife that I forged at Ed's shop in the spring of 2013. It was forged from 2inch round stock on Ed's 100 lb Little Giant. Triple quenched, triple tempered and cryo treated. I finished it in my Olympia WA. shop recently. Its Sold to a collector in the Pacific Northwest. OAL is 12-1/2" with 7" blade and spine is nearly 1/4".

Decided to do a smaller EDC style knife, scotch brite finish, I really like it.

Congrats on the KMG Brian. I got mine running last week and going from a GIB to it, is unreal. I've tried a few other grinders at the higher end but nothing has been as practical, economical and versatile as the KMG.
 
Trying radiused bolsters. The material looked to be book match, turns out it's not.

They still need to be hand sanded.
 
Great stuff guys!!! :)

Butch- Those two pieces are killer- very nice! And you suck for snagging that wood... Damn, that's the craziest example of it I've ever seen. :eek: :cool:

Nathan- That knife is badass, and your process thread still has my head hurting. Awesome. :cool:

Dan- That's cool, I bet you'll be keeping that one! :)

Peter- I think you must be a robot--- Cuz you're a machine dude. :thumbup:

Brian- That's awesome... Glad to hear you moved up to a big boy grinder. ;) :p Seriously though, you're going to wonder how you ever made anything without it. And I totally know that feeling of excitement. I'm happy for you man! :)
 
nick i always have my eyes open for stuff like that and i was lucky. i got 3 blocks out of the 30 he had. after a while you start getting an eye for what things are going to look like inside the blocks. smoking Jim always has good prices one great wood, trick is being able to spot in whiel its stil ruff cut (he does not sand the blocks clean )
 
There is a lot of work showcased here. I did a little this weekend.

This is the grinder table set on my mill to cut a true edge that will meet the grinding wheel.

these are the gaps I was fixing. I had some trouble working ivory scales this weekend, they wanted to slip in the gap, so that had to be fixed.

And the gap on the left side, which was smaller.

The right side gap.

With that fixed I am ready to use the grinder better. :) I have a nice little uniform gap across the table now.
