Hello all... After making the first anorak, it seemed prudent to make a few improvements and fine tune everything. Hopefully this won't go past ver. 10 ;) Materials included one of those super smelly italian surplus blankies, chicago screws, gutterman HD silk thread (130 yds+!)...

Hey everyone.. long time gone. Hope everyone is happy now that winter is here. Posted a thread over at another forum, and thought this might be of interest to some of the folks here: This took me quite a while to get all the material combinations right, but it turned out spot on for those...

Hello gents, hope i'm not boring you with all this synthetic stuff, but i finally got rid of the last of that G10 stuff just as i was geting used to working with it (albeit my skin has been itching for the last month!) So here it is: Blade - Hell Carbon 1C Tollekniv laminate, 59 Hrc Handle...

Been hopping around through many of the old posts here looking for opinions on edge grinds:eek: . Granted, a majority of the people on this forum are within the same latitude and therefore experience conditions which relate to the region as a whole. But... All preference for the limitations...

Alright... We've got nice carbon blades with firesteels, and that pretty much almost covers the basics.. The only thing missing is a way to get some clean water without having to: 1. start a fire, boild water, wait to cool (or use hot;tea etc.) 2. wait a half an hour for the purification...

Finally got around to using nothing but leftover scraps to rebuild my own personal puukko. This little monster shoukld be able to dish out all of the abuse it's already used to Blade- reprofiled lauri 95mm Handle- g10, leather, red maple, 7075AL Sheath- 9 oz. Latigo, 80lb. Spectra stitching...

Back to the simplicity of what works without all the fancy looks:) Polar 95mm, Natural G10, 7075 AL, couple of glow dots, 9 oz. Latigo bull leather, spectra stitching, flared concealex liner. Yeah, the photos... light and dark, dark and light, not my camera again but... better than no...

what do you hear? right now!!! no matter where you are is it music? natural cacophony? Close your eyes and listen.. Just listen....

Oh, you guys are gonna hate me for this one... G10, 7075AL, Polar 95mm, and Concealex... scandi of the future (sans ceramic blade) or abomination to the northern knifemaking culture? After working with the kydex/concealex stuff, it helps you realize just how perfect leather...

Does any one know of a tried and true method for fast tarnishing/"antique styling" of metal rivets and screws? Just got my AL, brass and copper hardware in, and it appears to be in direct competition with a mirror as far as reflectivity goes:cool:... and that is far too bright to match up with...

Didn't want to wait for 2 weeks to get the next order of blades in.. so i went down to the local knife shop for something to deconstruct, and lo and behold the nice girl behind the counter whipped out a couple of helle blades! This knife is so cute and usable. It was originally designed for...

These things are selling like hotcakes over here in the US! Had one more blade left over from the second order and decided to make a backup for the trusty pukko. IMHO these are the best production knives i've ever worked with! specs: - black micarta scales lengthened to the ricasso - 2...

Starting to add firesteels to my knives, and was wondering if i could get some user opinions as to what the best size (length) for them. Just ordered 3 X 6.5mm X 80mm, 3 X 9mm X 80mm, 1 X 12.5mm X 127mm and understand that the 6 and 9mm are pretty much standard diameters... and the big guy...

This is the first time doing something of this nature. A full combo knife and pouch rig made specifically for the hike in, hike out fly fisherman. I've never crafted a pouch with this much deep wet molding. Making the pouch was like tugging and stretching a piece of plastic ... not a lot of...

Haven't posted in here in a while... and there were a couple of nice new Enzo scandi's waiting to be worked up... maybe a month now in the waiting! Just a few personal notes about construction for those who have yet to venture into the wonderful simplicity of assembling a full tang Enzo blade...

Just happened to be digging through my car and found a SAK in between the back seats! The handle had a crack in it, but it was in perfect working condition!.. So, with the better part of the day on my side, creativity reared its head like a lipizzaner and decided to throw a new handle on that...

No and's, if's, or but's... What was it and how much did it cost (and realistically, did the value live up to standards?). Trades, bargaining, and labor (if you crafted the knife yourself) are valued as well. For me, after rummaging this late spring, It has to be the Kershaw 1590GR Ser...

Not sure if anyone has done a review on a folding saw yet. Thought I may throw in my 2p with regards to a saw being used over the past month. The season is over and there’s way to much time on my hands;) So, enter Corona’s RS7245 presence with general backwoods utility in mind...

Heh, though this would be a good one to show people how not to cook... bacon... ..yes, bacon is good. But one slice at a time? Cheers edispilff

Without the trusty pack animal, things get pretty lonely (not to mention the birds that keep giving me the winger). Tsar has always been my companion on my extended trapline outings. ...But it gets old carrying around all of his supplies.... ... he does it himself now. After trying...
