    Thanks everyone for joining this new group. Todd has asked me to help him moderate. Please bear with me as I am learning also. If you need anything please ask and I am sure we can come up with the answer.

    Hey everyone. I am working on a knife right now and have a problem. I used a piece of dymond wood as a spacer, but the wood burns to easy on the belt sander. Should I hand sand or is there another way.

    The material we have is old and color fading. We ordered this stuff over 25 years ago-per Dad from a place called Indian Ridge-I think it was in Tenn.
    Does anyone know of it or remember it? It out of business from what we can tell.

    great looking knife Gary!

    Mar 3, 2010

  • Gary Music

    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.
