G10 handles and guard, elmax steel @ 60 hrc.

Doesn't have a home if anyone wants it, otherwise will go into my collectionhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e07552c37d.jpg

Not a knife, but it will see a heap of them.

Some welding required.

And a motor, a VFD, some wheels, belts......

Hi John

Plans from Jer Schmidt https://jerswoodshop.com/gen-2-belt-grinder/

I'm making it out of 304ss as my workshop is non-ferrous. This will probably the only stainless belt grinder on the planet, but I don't let the guys do NF homejobs, so the boss had better follow the rules also I think.

I know what the left one is (Buck), who's is the other one? looks almost perfect shape.

Bowie been in service since I was 8yo, it was used when I received it .
Always on the bumbag is my Steve Wheeler and the geberfolder.
Might need a bit more practice with the attachments tool I think.

Picked this up on Ali express for $43 and free delivery. Not sure if it is a fake or not. I'd be interested to know how to tell, box seemed kosher.Attachment 274265

Different steel, different handle material, different weight, different length and thickness, just compare with the Blademaster specs.
But if it cuts and performs alright, why not?
If it’s too good to be true..

Good advice there, thanks. It certainly cuts ok, and for the money I'm not going to cry, how it holds an edge remains to be seen. I'll do the weighing tomorrow. The handle feels feels good and it has decent heft.

Another one done

Here is a shot of the progression of Jack, there are a few missing as hunters have them that were my testers and today a hunter dropped in to get me to sharpen his (still covered in Blood)which he has had several years now and it’s done a lot of deer and pigs, the evolution is from bottom up to the new version at the top. What I love about this is the knife has a story and history regarding the design, steel choice and development based in NZ and born on a shitty evening in a hut.
