Thank you for the kind words.
For you guys that own or carry these, we are thinking about making sheaths for them.
My question is: Is it better to make a horizontal or vertical belt carry?
Next: A couple want to wear them on their shoulder gun holsters around far front chest area,
good...
Thanks guys !!! That was fun to build. I will probably make more now that I have the concept.
Super-T, yes. I made the pins and also did all the stabilizing of the woods. I also helped in
the heat treatment of the steels.
Thank you for all the kind comments !!

Hi Guys, it has been a while since I have been on or posted. Life gets in the way sometimes.
These are the first push daggers I have ever made. I did these for one of my friends. He wanted
these for his office and employees.
We wanted all hardwoods and each one different. These are fully...

I will have try to do it on my next HT. I just got in a bunch of O-1 that I am doing 4 push daggers and a stiletto dagger. Also getting a billet of Raindrop Damascus for 2 more push daggers.
As for 1084, I really like this steel. I have used it soo much that I get a real good HT almost every...
Thanks Rhino !! The etching is really not my taste either but wanted to make something for show and accomplishment.
I get most of my blades anywhere between rc56-59. I don't have an oven so consistency from the forge varies +/-.
I do make a couple of coupons and have them tested at the local...

+1 with Woobie. Some of these manufacture's use L6 steel and other's use 10__ steel. From what I have been told, there is no
rule of thumb to these. Many of the lower end pieces use anything that is the cheapest that week.
A few friends have made nice looking knives from these but never...
I have been in the restaurant business for over 20+ years as cook, manager, GM, and Owner. Kitchen knives can be very expensive but doesn't have to be for the average cook.
I use mine on a daily basis so I buy quality steel that I know that will last a long time but still give me the...
Welcome to knifemaking !!! I too started out in a similar way.
Be careful ... one knife here and then another then before you know it,
your hooked :D
Enjoy your new found hobby !!
I appreciate the kind comments Jeffrey. I think I'm on the way to an addiction. I catch myself looking each day for new blocks that I don't already have.
I have enough to make around 60 knives. And that doesn't include the Micarta, Mycarta, and acrylics scales I have.
Whats funny to me is that I...
