Negative sir. My weapon of choice when I have to disarm in a gun free zone. Actually the grip would be wrong for a neck sheath. My Cold Steel counter TAC II is not bad for a neck sheath, but I'll need a right side deployment for the blade to be on the bottom of the right hand. I absolutely love my Emerson Karambit folder

This break is back in the handle area where I no longer focus on complete grain transfer due to a blade needing some flexibility so as not to snap during regular use.
Judging by how fine this grain is, it’s safe to assume the cutting edge is sweet AF!
It sucks to test your work, but as you know, it’s necessary to have quality control measures.

It's 1/8" 1095 and jade green g10. This is my second friction folder. I've done a couple of fixed blades, but I don't have any pictures handy.

You should be good to upload pics now without an issue
They're showing up fine for me. Did I do something wrong?
Post by: KensAuto on April 27, 2019, 09:50:57 PM
Nice work on the blade.
Post by: Dfarm01 on April 28, 2019, 02:17:59 AM
You're fine.
Nice work on the blade.
Thanks. This is the first knife I've ground on my new grinder.
I used to use a harbor freight 4x36" belt sander. It worked, but to say that it's underpowered is being nice. I think it's like 1/2hp. My new grinder is a 2x48" with a 2hp motor. It's almost scary to use compared to the old one. Lol

Did you keep after it?
Did you get to use your knife on a deer?

I didn't keep after it but did use it on 2 deer. Worked pretty good.
Even if it's not something that you do often, knowing that you can make a good working tool is a great feeling.
Sure is some fine looking cutlery

Thanks!
Is anyone else working on knives?(or other edged tools?
Post by: BobbyB on May 10, 2020, 10:53:44 AM
Just thought I'd drop in and share a couple of recent pics and see what everyone else is working on these days.
I like that last one next to the G19.
Tactical tailor makes some nice stuff, have one of their rucks under my bed from back in the day.

its funny you say that bobby. tactical tailor has since closed their show room,drastically reduced their inventory, stopped selling firearms and firearm accessories, no more ammo, drastically reduced their inventory and have moved locations since they were robbed in 2016/2017. they still sell some stuff online but a majority of what they make now goes to gov contracts.

Wow that sucks. Never knew that. I bought one of their rucks a few years ago since my original ALICE needs some upgrades, and I have "retired" it to relaxing duty. The TT ruck was great but I shouldn't have bought the one with the sleeping system container attached, never used it.
Post by: Dfarm01 on May 10, 2020, 04:47:22 PM
Having the store nearby was pretty cool. They'd have sales on stuff and I'd end up buying stuff that I'd never use. Lol
Things definitely changed after the owner passed.
I believe that they own grey ghost precision as well.

Just got a new counter tac II neck knife. I gave my last one to a buddy who saw it and liked it.
