  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

everything fits up really well, although I'ma have to make a lil tiny spacer to fill a gap between the handle and guard. Fortunately it's exactly the same both sides so I can say I meant to do that lol

the plunge bothered me and I decided to move it back. That way, the sharpening choil actually exists for a reason

Found myself in need of a pig sticker and so after some looking around and design work started filing away:

WOWZA!!!
 
New metal dust and spark collection. I have used a Locline and cyclone for handle material and find it great. You get up close and good to where dust forms.
I got a second one now, to use only for steel. Hooked it up to a 2.5" cyclone on a stiff 30 L bucket with som water in it. On the other end is a metal dust extractor. Plan is to use for both dry and wet grinding. I think it should hold up, and save filter bags. No sparks are leaving the cyclone.

 
Protech picked another stunning blade and button combo to pair with the green Dragon Skin TR3! Absolutely gorgeous! 😍 This piece sold just after mid-day...I was almost sad to see it go😂

You talk about a "pigsticker" - don't tell me you're one of those guys who hunt pigs with catch dogs, then run up to stick that live fighting pig with a knife? I'm WAAAY too old for that!
