      Dive Knife

      Here is the blade after the first rough grind of the edge. I will proceed to refine the bevels with successive reductions in grit until I have it down to about 400 or 600 grit. Then I will finish sanding the bevels by hand. A picture of the completed build. I was working on other things and...

      Here I have the knife mounted in my high tech knife clamp to begin cleaning and sanding the edges. Another shot of my high end knife clamp in action.

      After the holes are drilled and chamfered I hand sand the blank to remove any potential burrs left by the bits. Here it is after hand sanding.

      Opening up the holes with a larger bit for scale fasteners. In this case SS corbie pins were used. This is a picture of one of my chamfering bits in action. I chamfer the holes to make it easier to insert the pins on the handle and bolster.

      This is after cutting out the shape and using my belt grinder to get the finished shape. Here it is after sanding flat to 400 grit.

      It's difficult to say how long it took me to build because I worked on it on and off while working on other knives, and waiting on materials. Again...thanks to all of you for your kindness. I love making knives, but seeing happy faces is that gets me over the edge.

      Knifemakers: knifemaking tip of the day!

      My tip for the day is; Never be too proud to ask questions. Most knife makers are more than happy to help others. We all start somewhere.

      Lets build a knife

      Okay, so I was thinkiing about doing a knife build and posting the "work in progress" as I went along to show everyone my method for making a knife. I will be posting pictures of each step in the progress along with comments concerning the process. But I thought it would be cool if I let you...

      I handed the knife over to the new new owner this morning. He was very excited about it. My favorite part of makinig knives is seeing the smiles! He is going to let me know how it works for him.

      I thought I would share a picture of this knife right after it was born..... This is on my workbench.

      I can assure you that this knife is razor sharp. I would expect a flat or blunt end knife to have the blunt end sharpened as well. If thats the case, wouldnt it prove to be just as dangerous in the scenario you described? ...and thanks. I appreciate it.

      Maybe. The guy who wanted it specified the design of the blade. I dont dive, I wouldnt know. Why should it be blunt? Edit; I noticed on this web site there are just as many knives with points as there are with blunts...probably more. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear/Knives.html
