i'm just bustin, but ebay's mostly small, private businesses and i was unhappy with the service i was getting at that huge store. they were packed anyway so i'm no major loss. pretty sure i purchased from a smaller dealer.

alright! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

nah man i get it but i have been on both sides and as much as i'd rather deal locally it gets harder and harder. jsut would like to keep my job since i'm good at it even though people may not care. well that is until they have a problem...

here's a quick snapshot of what I've been up to.

looking good pink!!

thanks! this is my first knife doing it all on my own, so I learned a lot from it.

looking good pink! what's the spec on that?

it's my pikal (reverse edge), 5/32" A2 steel, black linen micarta, 7" overall, 3" blade, and convex grind.

it's not complete yet. i'm still not happy with the way the handle feels in my hands, it's still a bit blocky, but I've inhaled enough micarta dust for one day.

haha, you know that dust doesnt go away... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

id like to get my hands on some A2!!

haha, i use a respirator, probably time to change the filters though.

if I had to pick one steel to be my favorite, taking everything into account, i'd say A2. i order mines from KBC Tools: http://www.kbctools.com/ it's about $22 5/32", 1.5" wide, and 18" long.

they have a location in hayward (that's where I pick mines up) and another in LA, they ship too.


be back, time to hit the shower.

finally found my knife making thread.

covered in too much micarta dust?
