Re: a photo of yourself...

Well, I'll break the facial hair law and post one of myself without a beard. Haha!
Oops, how did my favorite knife get in there? Oh, well...

Re: I'm Selling My Tomz Knife Massager

This community has been good to me. I know my ad isn't up yet, but if someone wants this machine for $150 shipped, I'll let it go. Just so long as it goes to a good home. Pm me if interested.

Re: I'm Selling My Tomz Knife Massager

I wish you did too, Butch. I would love for you to have it. And Lynn, thanks for the idea, but I don't have a Facebook account. Never been a big fan of social media. Haha! I'm confident someone will want it though. It's a steal at this price...

Re: Wax on Wood

I agree with both methods. When I wax a knife handle and blade and need to get it off, I use good ol' isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol 91%. The higher percentage, the better it will work. Your pharmacy should have both 70 and 91 percent. But if you're gonna carve it, your...

Re: Back Making Tools

We missed you Brandant! Glad to see you're back. I've contracted knife fever while you were away and it's a rare form. Scandinavian knife fever. My temperature is hot enough to forge metal on my forehead. I definitely got the bug.

Re: blade bevel

I've done this once, back when I first started experimenting with wood carving knives. I just used my cheapo harbor freight belt sander and did what Mike said. Worked out fine.

Re: Wood ID please - it's a bit yellow

Osage orange that had been cut for even a little while oxidizes to an orangish brown color unless sealed properly. I think that rules it out as someone else mentioned. Fresh cut Osage is even more yellow than that.

Re: Rockwell Hardness Explained From Deepwoods

Here's a pic of knife with imagined laminated steel as I described above. (Mine is really solid steel all at 59HRC, but you get the point.)

Re: Rockwell Hardness Explained From Deepwoods

That's good into. Another thing to note is that some blades have multiple hardness due to having laminated steel. For instance, many Mora knives and Scandinavian knives have a hard piece of steel laminated between two softer pieces of steel....

Re: Yet Another New Puukko

Thanks guys. I was going to respond to the the carving question but you have all answered it wonderfully. It's always nice to hear the positive comments from this forum. It's part of what keeps me working.
Thanks!
