What I have been doing lately

Post by orvet »

I was just reading a thread here where 4ever3 was saying that this sub-forum was dying.
I agree here hasn’t been much in here lately.
I have been very busy in the shop, some days I didn’t have time to keep up with the posts in AAPK let alone post anything.

Here are a few Camillus & Schrade blanks I have been completing lately.

Hope you enjoy the pics,
Dale

Here are a few more.
There are more, but I have to get pics from Randy.
He has been selling some of them on ebay.
There are another 5 or 6 knives that I sent to Randy before I took pics.
Maybe Randy can post those pics on here.

OK, now you guys can see what I do when my arthritis in my hands gets too bad to do file work….I make fixed blades.
Let’s see some of the work you guys have been doing. :mrgreen:

After seeing your work I want you to do a job for me.

It was about a year ago you said the next time you need to do this you would let me know. Is it time yet ??

It is going to a family member of an AAPK member. Either he will send the CQB ore of the BK-2s.
Either one is a setious piece of cutlery! :wink:
