Hi everyone. Im a Custom knife maker/metal worker living in port saint joe. Hows the rest of the panhandle doing today?

Good morning!! Custom knife work sounds interesting. I too would like to see some pics.

I have a video on youtube that shows a knife ive done. My knives are basic and functional tools, definitely not fancy showpieces. Heres a link to the video if interested in seeing one. Hopefully its not against the rules to post the link.

welcome to the forum!

I really like that knife. Simple and functional.

I appreciate the compliment. I test my blades by shaving my face. Anyone can shave arm hair. Its not truely razor sharp though unless you can shave coarse facial hair. And one slip up, like having a duller spot in the edge, and youre gonna get one very nasty cut.

[yingzhaoquan]

[scoob]

My problem is keeping a knife sharp so went the Havalon route....if you have an easy way to sharpen I might be a buyer!

 

[yingzhaoquan]

I like all kinds of stuff. Ammo for what few guns i have, firearms, holsters for my guns, electronics, video games. Trying to get a 22 my daughter can learn to shoot with.

I sharpen them the easy way. On water stones. Those other "fast sharpening" methods dont give a good edge and are more complicated than theyre worth.
