Thank you everyone!! I'm glad you guys enjoyed the build-a-long. Lin is correct, you do not need a bunch of special tools to build a knife. My first knife were made with only a dremal, hand drill, and some files. But the additional tools make building the knife faster. I am working on building a 2 X 72 grind with a flat platten and 10" contact wheel. It will be some time before this is done, but this will speed up the process some more.

Gene-I have not recieved your e-mail, try a PM.

Not the best photos, but I finished the sheath this afternoon. Cross draw style made by hot waxing a textured leather. Breaded leather over the belt loop to spice it up a little.

That is amazing...there is a lot of work to a custom knife. No wonder they cost so much.

I keep looking back at this tutorial to get ideas.
I've got 2 files in a can of wood ashes right now...we'll see how it works out.
If my shop wasn't -5 degrees I'd be out there right now.

This is a great tut IMHO. Each time I read this one alittle more info falls into the cracks and makes building a blade that much easyer.

This is one that should be saved on a perminent basis. Again IMHO

Have read this five times and am learning every time

Thank you for taking the time and giving all of the info to us.

Thanks again

Later.......Buzz
