Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Reubjames: I can certainly post more work-in-progress pics when I'm creating other knives. I don't want to bombard the thread with too many knife making pics but I'm more than happy to share some here and there. Eventually I want to document the process from start to finish on a single knife with photos and a writeup but that's a LOT of work since there are some many little steps that go into creating one. I usually find myself focusing more on the work and forget to take pics. One day I'll do it. I'll likely make a separate thread just for that or add it to DFarm's knifemaking thread. Will definitely post a link here when I do. Please do. I like to peek behind the curtain. |

Keep a couple of these in the shop/truck: Liquid IV You don’t need to have one every day, but they really help for days like today. Sugar free versions are available too. One packet in a normal water bottle will help you recover or prevent getting that bad. Still need to be drinking water, but these help alot in rough weather. |

You guys probably already know, but the guys in this thread making knives are great and such a pleasure to work with. Just telling them the colors/team I wanted to replicate and letting them run with it, and then the amazing work they turned out  Im already trying to figure out ways to utilize them to make more knives for my company, as well as the Old Ladys company, to give to either employees or great customers/clients. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/384430/IMG_6439_jpg-3306100.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/384430/IMG_6440_jpg-3306101.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/384430/IMG_6443_jpg-3306102.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/384430/IMG_6441_jpg-3306103.JPG My crappy photo skills dont do it justice.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 80085: Matching custom bottle opener. I’m impressed. One of a kind at this point. I messed up the handle material on the first try for his knife handle so instead of scrapping that material, I designed a bottle opener around the scrap to put it to use. That’s also when I decided to taper the stripe. |
