Comment by Rich Miller on August 3, 2013 at 15:57: Ok here go's with my first post. Doe's anyone know where I can get a blade for a #19 queen pocket knife?

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on July 21, 2013 at 9:24: Thanks Vance, I buy from Texas knife makers supply but I haven't heard of those others. I'll check them out.

Comment by Mike Botts on July 16, 2013 at 12:40: Jack. You're right about the handle materials. Thanks!

Comment by Bill Fletcher on July 16, 2013 at 11:17: Hello Mike! As far as handle materials, I have had good luck with Culpepper and Company at http://www.knifehandles.com/ for bone and horn handles; and at http://stores.ebay.com/WOODEN-ARTISTIC-TREASURES ie bigmikeyc1 where some very nice stabalized wooden handles are offerd. Best regards

KnifeMaker Comment by Vance Wade Hinds on July 16, 2013 at 10:29: There are a lot of knife links on my blog that may help. I have been accumulating as many as I can.

Comment by Jack Haskins, Jr. on July 16, 2013 at 10:03: Wow. I just looked at the anvils. Sure can cost a lot of $ to get something to bang on with a hammer. :)

Comment by Jack Haskins, Jr. on July 16, 2013 at 9:59: Here's an anvil and other things. I like this site a lot. Jantz is good to in my experience. I like the handle material on this site more I think.

I can't paste the address. Go to usaknifemakers.comm and search for "anvil".

Comment by Mike Botts on July 16, 2013 at 9:43: Oh, I must be half blind! I just noticed Pat Kennedy's reply about Jantz Supply having the anvil I'm referring to. Old age must be catching up with me. See, I knew someone could help me. Thanks Pat. I'll Check it out.

Comment by Mike Botts on July 16, 2013 at 9:37: Thanks Vance, and you're right about the helpful folks on this site. I still haven't gotten any replies to my question about tool and supply resources. I'd like to get into re-handling old folders that need it. But I will have to know where to obtain pin material, and a nice little anvil. Ive seen these anvils on u-tube videos, and in one knife repair book, so I know they are out there. I'm confident that someone on this site will be able to help.

KnifeMaker Comment by Vance Wade Hinds on July 16, 2013 at 8:49: Thanks for the informative reply. So far, when I reply to a post, I learn more from the replies to my post, than I provide in info. This is a great site with great people. I will have to reevaluate my sewn muslin wheel and look at the hard felts. I hope we both get an answer to your question.
