Thanks guys! The ring has some “rustic” spots but I’m getting used to the Smith’s Little Torch. Man does that thing have some major torch power 😂 I’ve also worked on inlay so much in the last year I’m having to relearn the tradition bezel setting. Had fun though!

Love them Mel, and I'm sure they were very well received! That dino bone knife is a favorite!

Did you learn the knife scales at WH? Is there a good site to buy a good locking blade? I want to do this this year- at some point. I owe DH a nice knife. The last one I got him he lost. I got him a replacement, but it's not as nice. I don't think he likes it as much.

He put us in touch with the place. Their knives are great quality (I know because my avid hunter son tested his knew one yesterday and couldn’t thank me enough)! I get a pretty big discount because of taking Chucks class but they have a deal of the day everyday that will blow you away. If you don’t mind an email daily. I’m working on kitchen knives as well that I bought from them. HANDLES ARE A PAIN IN THE ASS!! Sorry Tommy and 1dave but they are.     They are wholesalers too so with your tax ID you will probably get my discount. Hope that helps |

Very nice Mel! I would love to create scales for my vintage Buck knife that was given to me on my 16th birthday but I'm scared to death to try it haha. Maybe I will commission you to make them for me  |
