@@malcolmholt2010 thanks bubba , hey I got my eyelets in if you want me to, I can attempt a sheath for the anygdala. I got everything I need but it'll be Saturday before I can get to it
@@apex_alchemy_knives it looks sick imo can’t wait to see those 2 done up I’m tempted to claim one of the 2 but I kinda wanna see them done what all finished r u thinking of doing on the blades. Also could I pay u over a few weeks time. Like send u half and the other half a week or 2 after and u ship it once I pay it off?
@Shifftymking yeah the payment don't worry about. I'm easy to work with on that. Finishes, with it being high carbon ...I like the coke bath , ferric chloride ...these are forced patina and 15n20 ...takes it pretty evenly. I can bead blast and stone wash...and we can leave them satin. I would like to experiment with tiger stripes but I'm not there yet.
@@apex_alchemy_knives the satin looks nice but I feel like for u a user it’s not a great option. I’d be interested in seeing how ur stonewash turns out. I honestly feel like whatever u decide will be great. Great to hear about the payments I appreciate that.
Polyester resin is what most tubs shower surrounds boats are made from. Poly is way harder toxic on the environment than epoxy resin. Make sure you wear a respirator when grinding it. All micarta is is epoxy resin and stacks of linen material. You can actually make your own micarta epoxy resin is easy to work with, polyester is too. Ive rebuild several fiberglass boats and used at least 100 gallons of epoxy resin and 300gallons of polyester resin. Btw polyester is 1/3 the cost of epoxy resin. Look at total boat they sell small batch epoxy kits you could use for your knive handles.
@@shoresharp8349 gotcha , the lady that pushes it at blade show sells it as a safe alternative to micarta . She should check herself before she wrecks herself 😂
Nice crowning. Cool steel choice. I’ve never used 15N20 & I’ve never seen or felt Tero Tuf. Well done. Sweet knife Billy!👊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔪🇺🇸
Thanks bro
Just got to really watch this just now. I would say the blue with the dayglo green is my favorite. Looking good, brother!

@@shoresharp8349 and we do use lots of epoxy on our handles. We've tried to make micarta but we really need a vacuum
