    Owww! I get a shiver just thinking about that. A clean cut like that hurts a long time. . . .

    Recently, I bought a belt sander for sharpening.

      This is the sharpening system I use with various grades of stones and as you can see the blade is toward the sharpener and exposed so care is needed but it does produce a very nice edge.
      The Constant Angle Sharpening System makes that constant angle so easy. Get in Touch Introducing the precision Scary Sharp system All the frustration and difficulty of maintaining the angle of incline between the knife blade and the sharpening stone, has now been made so easy to achieve with increased precision.https://youtu.be/I2GbDVkkmew Watch more demonstrational video’s here… […]

            I'm stepping back a few posts, but what do you think about boiled linseed oil as a rust preventative? A short internet search indicates it may be a good plan for a non-toxic treatment.

              If you mean for the knife in general storage, when not in use or what I use when posting the knives off and they will be in the sheath for a couple of weeks and may be in high humidity environment, I have changed from the general oils I had been using and now use chainsaw bar oil for its sticky content as I know it will "stay" on the blade.
              I havent tried BLO for the simple reason that it sets on the steel (during handle finishing) and leaves a yellowish residue which needs a good rubbing with denatured achahol, turps or similar to remove. When the knife is going to be used for hunting or meat prep then a wipe off with a clean rag and denatured alchahol and it is ready to go with a simple cooking oil as preventative for day to day use.

                  With a little down time I was able to get all my standard patterns transfered to sheet steel and hung on the wall






                  I now have a pic of them that can be used when I am asked what I make and then a decision can be more easily made as to were to start the discussion from.

                    I have been working on a web site for a couple of weeks and now have it it up and running so I can easily point those to it who are asking for information on what knives I make and what options are offered.
                    Have a look round and see what you think.

                        Still a couple of tweaks to do but it is about done and should make informations easier to access for customers and those just plain interested
