I am almost there. Just need to put a few more safety measures in place and I will be ready to make some sparks!
Wow, great progress already. Those initial designs look cool. I like the flip table you made for the grinder too. You said you didn't want to start with a folder... Why not try a friction folder? That way you don't have to worry about a spring or lock or anything fancy. Just a neat blade and a cool handle. You could always get a cheap friction folder and disassemble to get ideas and then remake it your own way. Some of the guys on here have had good success with making scales for the svord knives.
I actually love friction folders! I would love to make one, and they are on my list. But, I figured the fixed blade would be a good place to start...then maybe a hatchet or two...maybe even a karambit...what? vegassprky
Dude SMAJ I didn't mean to seem weird when I ask you about the tag on IG... You just would believe some others I've encountered lol. Glad I found you on there
Dude! LOL! Its all good. So far I have been lucky on IG...but I do get some weird followers...lots of strange folks there for sure!
in all seriousness that is why I stay off a lot of other sites. Are some people just trying to get their number of followers up or something less desirable?
IG is definitely sometimes a little strange, I don't spend much time there anymore. Like the shape of that knife SMAJ looking forward to some progress pics. Copper pry bar is looking good as well. I love mine.
Thank you! I am just about ready to start grinding. Waiting on some cut/abrasive resistant gloves. Not looking to lose any skin!
