  1. The drawdown stand plans are in Stohlman's Encyclopedia of Saddle Making Volume One. (There are three volumes in the series).
  2. Beautiful work! Love the lifter effect.
  3. Very cool! Nice job! Had to ethically dispatch an Eastern Diamondback in my front yard a couple months ago.

    Back At It

    Nice work! Glad you're back!
  5. Beautiful knife and sheath. I don't believe they get any cleaner than that! Fine work!
  6. Thanks, Dave! I've always been fascinated with the round knives--as I mentioned earlier, I've yet to try my hand at a regular fixed blade. I think I'm doing things backward, which is not unusual for me.
  7. Thank you! I've been real happy with the AEB-L. Haven't tried the CPM-154, but I'm sure I will! I haven't even built a fixed blade "normal" knife yet--I got into it with a total fixation on round/head knives and I've put all my focus on those.
  8. Thanks, Tom! I've never used D-2. I've played with 1095 when I first started, but beyond that, it's been AEB-L for all my leather knives. Here's an article (with more info than anybody would want or need) on AEB-L with some D-2 references and comparisons. https://knifesteelnerds.com/2019/03/04/all-about-aeb-l/ What Chuck said.
  9. Thanks, Bruce! I'd venture to say you've probably seen 'em all! That means a lot coming from you. I won't be making a whole lot of them, but I sure enjoy the process.
  10. Thank you for the kind words. Not an odd duck at all--I've used them since I started, so anything else would be odd for me. They can be frustrating, and if you don't pay constant attention, they can bite. Worst cuts I've gotten have been since I've been making them.
