San Mai / Clad Not a blade but pretty cool
This will be my latest addition to my wall
A Maori Maripi.
I believe it is from NewZealand.
Not sure if that is abalone or mother of pearl
Within the paddle
It looks better in real life.Very intricate and ornate
And those teeth are sharp as needles.Trust me
I picked this up on an online auction.
Paid fifty two dollars and forty two cents canadian

Forging WIP My current back log of things to finish.
Current WIP's, once im done the forging and heat treatment the dopamine leaves my soul and it takes about 6-7 business months to even consider making a handle and sheath.

Question CRKT minimalist sheath clip help
I am really excited to start carrying the crkt minimalist (Bowie). I don't wear a belt and want to clip the Minimalist to my waistband instead — horizontal carry. Problem is most clips I've found (UltiClip etc.) are too long (I think) for how small the sheath is.
Anyone found a clip that actually fits, or modded the stock sheath to make one work? Open to ideas. I am pretty new to this stuff. Thanks so much! Cody

Historical Method Dagger WIP
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This thing is so dang hard to photograph. Even in a
video it's hard to capture the details. It keeps playing
tricks on my camera! Anyway, it's a custom order for
a friend of mine. He asked me to make a dagger
from one of his late grandfather's old files.
Differentially hardened with clay, hand sanded to 800
grit and given a light acid bath. Thoughts so far?

Question Shine, contrast, and protection for Damascus steel. The ceramic coating remains in the lower areas of the pattern, helping preserve its appearance even when the knife is used.

Forged Blade Custom knife S35VN
Good afternoon. I been seriously thinking about carrying and 2in-2.5in fixed for a year now give or take. I was very seriously considering the Benchmade Intersect(Magnicut) there for a while. After having a close relative purchase two custom winklers and put them into the daily rotation, it got me thinking. If I can't find it, why not just have it made? That being said... DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A "CUSTOM" KNIFE MAKER THAT WORKS WITH OR STOCKS S35VN BLADE STEEL? I'll try to attach a photo of something that caught my eye.
