Happy Birthday Larry, good thing we see each other soon, we'll drink to that !

I'm sorry but I had to cancel the meet..
Let's try again next year Mon amie!

Erf, that's a shame. Hope everything is good for you min vän !

It was the knife I was waiting for the most with the Edgerati. I should have the Edgerati soon but I've been carrying the Dyad Jr for 2 weeks now.

Surprisingly it might replace my workshop knife. It's usually the 4V Goddard LW or a CRK Inkosi. But the serrations are super useful there and the ...

Many, many things can interest me. I'll just talk about folders though.

But the bee's knees are edges with a continuous, very wide, radius . Or a flat near the heel that turns into a wide radius. That brings the tip down and it's infinitely more useful for me !
The tip position (and acuteness ...

DC53 blade (next will be RWL34) and a cool micarta I imported from the USA, thanks to a fellow forumite who gave me the source !

That's a very nice looking knife. I love the blade shape. Your workmanship is excellent. :drooling


Thanks ! For now I can feel improvement between each knife I make :open-grin . I hope I'll keep the pace (improvement-wise) for a while to reach my goals.


Could you make a survival knife with ...

There's also Coopers ! they make cool barrels!

I'll go sleep now, sorry people.

When I first joined the internet knife sphere, I used "beater" a bit weird. If it was a knife I did not care the scratch up using, it was a beater.

Now, a beater is something I don't even take the time to sharpen when it's dull because it's disassembled in my bathroom and used to scratch limestone ...

At the last Amsterdam Meet, the Charisma was my favorite design.

I loved the Mantra 4 too. Since the Domino (&Dice) and Sliverax are the only flippers I love, seeing a new flipper from Eric was very exciting. I hope it'll get the S35VN/M4 treatment.

For those wondering : I did not know it'd be ...

Happy birthday man !

HB @VashHash !

Imma try to make 2 more Precision folders for Amsterdam, might be a tight schedule since work has been hectic for the past months.

Some full handle micarta, and Ti/Warthog

Won't it go MA ?

To answer sal and piggyback of your reply. I used my Mules to cook for the past year or 2 (MagnaCut then other steels like RWL34 and SUS410). But the geometry and size slow down the process. Since I'm in love with the Mule team handle shape, I made myself my "perfect" kitchen knife.

I just had ...

I wonder if a "Kitchen Knife type Mule" would be an R&D development project would be effective?

sal


Hi Sal,

As someone who makes kitchen knives I would find this very interesting. There's been quite the progression of chef knife enthusiast -> handle making -> knife making/smithing in the ...

Thanks, as a birthday gift for myself, I finished another folder

Nothing better after a hard day of work : go work hard on something that feels "easy"

Thanks again everyone

The day was made better by friends, and by my 4th folder reaching its owner :D

Unfortunately I've seen a talented french maker doing a very good interpretation of that model recently. Forgot his name (I'll try to come back and fix that) but the work was splendid. Though ...

Thanks guys, the day was awful, one of the worst in a good while. But coming home to heartwarming messages from friends and family really helps.

A good thing all of this bad stuff landed today, at least there's a lot of confort to get back up and running

Thanks guys !

Sounds great!

"Matches properties of K390 but is stainless":
Can we assume that its "sharpenability" will be about the same too? (So not "harder" / "more time consuming" / "trickier" to sharpen?)


If it stays similar to the one we've gotten on the Mule, sharpening was a breeze. Deburring is ...
