    Just uploaded some photo of work I am doing-take a look at my page! I am not getting how to invite folks into my page-the help page is not helping? Can someone explain this part to me.

    Hi Paul, am a new member and make Khukuri Blades for a living. Your blades are fantastic, beautifully crafted. Specially with the black blade. How is it actually done? If its your trade mark, will understand not sharing.

    Thanks Jeff!

    It's forged 52100 which is a little tough to work with but I like it. It has a grind that Ed Fowler calls the "Improved Michael Price" grind, I have since etched it with my name and mark. It's my #10 and thanks go out to Ed Fowler who I learned most of my forging and heat treating techniques from.

    Todd-
    I'd like to keep her, as with all my knives, but then there's not fun in making knives and not share them with others and where will I keep them all, so I will probably sell her.

    Made this slip joint - went to over a thousand views and it's still for sell?
    Have things SLOWED down for you other makers? Have you noticed much diff in your sales? I know there are a lot of folks out there hurting now days. Hope it gets better soon.
