Hello my brothers and sisters, I've been away for a LONG time and have MANY new threads to check out... I'll be awake for days getting caught up..... lol. I used to post regularly here but put down my keyboard and picked up a hammer! For the last couple years I've been an ABS Apprentice...

I usually make bush knives..... but was recently inspired to try my hand at one of these little beauties.... Rick

I would like to share with you the evolution of my "Bushknife". The descision to make my own Bushknife started out as a few drawings. I wanted it to be a little beafy but not too clunky. Eventually, I cut out a blank to get the feel for the knife... Unhappy with the flow of the knife I...

I thought that I would take you with me while I made another knife sheath. This is going to be another SRK sheath. (Seems to be popular, lately) My first step is always to finalize what I’m going to do before I start. This way I can estimate the materials and time it will take to give the...

I have been a fulltime knifemaker and leatherworker "officially" since Oct 1st '07. I make only a few knives based on designs that I personally have used in the bush and have performed well under some serious abuse. One is very similar to the popular "Bushcraft" knife of the UK (only difference...

This was my first attempt at knifemaking. I had modified knives in the past but had never completely designed and made my own. I did alot of research making sure I didn't rush into anything blindly. The blank was cut from an old crosscut saw. (unsure of the steel type) It was full annealed prior...

It's not really an indepth tutorial but I'll show you some before and after pics of a sharpening kit I made from a tea box. It's fairly handy and easy to make. First you have to drink alot of tea. (I guess you could just put it in a different container.) The tea box costed me under $3 at the...

Hello all, I'm attempting to make my first spoon knife and with all the different styles of hooks, spoons and crooks out there, it's difficult to make a decision. I have made several knives in the past but with the crook, I'm a little in the dark about hardness, internal or external bevels...
