I'd like to see anything you'd like to post. I've already learned a great deal from these posts. Keep 'em coming.

I will try to post anything that anyone thinks might be helpful. I've learned everything I know about knives either from trial and error or by someone sharing the information with me. I don't have any "trade secrets". I think that what I do might get pretty boring, to most people, after a while.

Actually I would like to see posts on both of the following.
"I would like to see posts on tools, work areas"
"I would like to see how to posts with tips ect"
Tools are very important, While I do not favor Chinese knives, I do use and buy Chinese made power tools, some are very good. A lot of them are designed by American companies. I can buy the 14 inch Grizzly wood bandsaw for around $400 I think it was. I have used and abused this guy and it has done everything I want. I have others from China and they have been flawless. I buy American handtools because they are better in my mind, much better than the Chinese.
The problem is, I can't afford the American power tools, so I can have Chinese or none at all. It is getting very hard to find an American made power tool with quality and good price.

These could actually be seperate forums with the knife restoration.

I'll tell you what I wouldn't like. I wouldn't like to use a mismatched material in a knife and fine out that there was a reaction that made my knife look like crap. I wouldn't like to use an adhesive (glue, epoxy, etc..) that didn't work for what I'm trying to do. I wouldn't like to spend money having someone cut a blade blank for me only to find out it will never fit and that I just don't know what dimensions I should have used.

I want to know everything I can absorb, learn, experience, or imagine about doing this right. Am I going to screw things up? you better believe it. Am I going to get better? You better believe it. Can I get a head start and not screw things up as much? That's why I suggested this area and I'm sure that's why we're all checking this section daily.

Looks like there is more interest on the subjects than I thought. Tommorow I'll start putting together a complete dis-re assembly of a case hawkbill (that be yours sunny

). I'll show everything I do step by step. Ask questons if you have them, before, during, or after the tutorial. The only dumb question is the one you don't ask. I'll do my best to help, and I'm sure the others here who work on knives will be eager to contribute as well.
Now, it's time to shovel more snow
