Now it's really starting to look like one of my projects, but I definitely can't post pics, not with pros like the next guy showing what they can do with steel in a few hours! You're still more of a found artist than a knifemaker, and that is in no way an insult! I love that vice d guard, how's the balance now?i had my friend over today and we "upgraded" the knife to include a d guard and he wrapped the handle in paracord to go over the shitty finger grooves, oh and i spray painted it.
the d guard is a modified c clamp we attached with gorilla epoxy (its still in the vise because the epoxy is drying).

And I thought my okc sp10 was heavy!the balance is pretty even now (although it weighs 3 pounds), my next project might be to get an old double bit axe head off ebay and see what i can do with that

Willie, Got a wood stove for your heat treating and tempering? Amazing the results my grandpa and great grandpa had using s wood stove. Oh yeah, annealing the files they used for blade steel too.
Sorryfor the delay, a forget is fine.Progress. Heat treat and etch tomorrow. Is doing it in a forge OK or do I need to cobble something together to make it more half ass? I could try a weed burner and some fire bricks but I'm not sure that will get hot enough. I hope one of you wants this when I'm done
