Here’s what I had going on today. This is the maiden voyage of the forced air forge I just built. It ended up being a bit bigger than I anticipated, but I don’t think I’ll have trouble getting it to welding temperatures. I ran it on 1/2psi with the gas turned way down and was able to get a knife blank to yellow heat easily. I think I still want to put another coat or two of Satanite in it, as well as a coat of ITC-100. I also want to paint everything with high temp paint.

Well, I’m not sure why the image won’t post. I’m doing it just like I have all the other ones.

About a week ago, I was working on filing bevels on my first knife when this little friend zipped past my head and landed for a close inspection. She didn't seem impressed.

Tyson A Wright , edge geometry takes on a new meaning at that level of inspection...

They are screwed together. There are threaded inserts in the CF and the key holes are relieved on the inside like below

Screws are screwed into the scales just over halfway and then head of screw drops into the key hole and can be slid upwards into position. Then screws are tightened from inside with a low profile torx I make

Thanks!

This build will be pretty “simple” looking when finished and put together so I decided to make the parts that aren’t seen have some flare

Finished this one over the weekend. Shredded carbon fiber and my first "taco" sheath.

I like it .Drilling small hole here before cutting is good idea.............

I have been working on these for ages! New sheath style and scales method had me tossing all sorts of almost finished gear away.

I have watched your video of making this knife three times already. Really good video and very well made. Thanks!

Really nice knives! Very creative sheath idea. Never thought to integrate the belt loop like that.
