Thread: Show me your knives

I just use theses nothing flash or fancy

Whoops...that was a naughty moment...

(The handle is called "lizard skin").

big like

So the wife gave me a really nice knife. But it's a little bit big can any one change the point...into a drop point without killing the whole knife and keeping the finish on the blade?

Yeah mate, can do, easy as when you have the right equipment, can you show me a pic of the knife and use a pen to draw the line you are wanting. Key is to do at it a low speed and keeping the metal cool so as not not lose the temper, then once the new shape is there to sharpen it to blend it all together so it looks seamless.

Ok @Shelley I'll get a pic, the new shape would be similar to the bark river knife above. Couple of questions how long dose it take?
Could you do it next week? cheers

You're bit now. There's no going back!

Now that you have the standard Fox River, you need the set:
Featherweight Fox River
Fox River LT
Fox River LT Elmax
Fox River II
Fox River II LT

Around $1,500 should cover it.

Mate, I can always use sandpaper, I go through it like a duck through water, what sort of a skinning knife are you after, shape and size?
I have a few that are part made, one fully finished and lots of spare steel in either 3 mm or 4 mm, if you have a specific shape in mind I can make it, or you can see what I have underway.

Oops!

Should arrive by Friday next week.
