Holy smokes, Josh! That turned out just fabulous!!
I love all the small finishing touches. Just beautiful.

I’m with Coleman on this, those small finishing touches put this into the heirloom category.

that handle! reminds me of one of those super old maps from pirate movies.

very nice

 

[REK Knives]

Yeah that figure in the wood is crazy! I've really been getting into woods more lately... Love the natural/wild God given beauty!

 

[gooeytek]

I like it. I like it a lot.

 

[Murphjd25]

Rough grinding some embers today

Hey Josh

Question for you ... Why did you not make the Shiro bits out of something magnetic? They fall out of the bit holder 100% of the time. I figure you have a reason.

Nother question. What thread pitch is the back end of the bit tapped for? If I put a screw in there the magnet in my bit driver will hold that.

thanks.

Sure man! So I made them out of titanium for a couple reasons... 1. To prevent marring and 2. Higher strength than steel.

Yeah they work much better with the quick connect locking type of driver... You can install a set screw in there which is slightly magnetic and will help hold it in place with a magnetic driver, but most set screws aren't magnetic. Pm me your address and I'll send a few your way

Now that is some over-the-top customer service!

Thanks REK Knives

I knew you had a reason.

I have set screws "up to here". I'm good. Do you recall what thread pitch? I just didn't want to start the wrong one in there and have it get crossed up.

Thanks for the help

Might find out, might not.

Hope we do though.

Merry Christmas! I wonder what 2022 holds

Hopefully a 6" hunting knife so I can ditch my overly thick busse and have a masterpiece with your stamp on it
Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
