    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.

    Hey everybody, haven't had time to get on here to much, been working on alot of knives. Made my first dress Bowie, Blade is forged 5160, brass guard and wedding band , and dyed California Buckeye. All fileworked. I usually make hunters and skinners but this was so much fun to make I have more in the works.

    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.

  • BILL AKERS

    very elegant peice friend!

  • Stuart Smith

    Awesome. You finally made a knife.

    Stefan Diedericks

    Thanks Bill.
    Stuart, as you are well aware, I make 5000+ knives a day.......can you beat that?

    Sep 16, 2010

  • BILL AKERS

    BELEIVE IT OR NOT IN 16 HRS I CAN MAKE 6 KNIVES FROM START TO FINNISH READY TO SELL! LOL

    Stefan Diedericks

    Bill, I'm at a knife factory. We have the capacity to make 12000 knives in a 8 hour shift, but not quite the quality of the 6 that you make. Making 6 handmade knives in 16 hours takes some doing in my books.

  • Stuart Smith

    Yeah, yeah. Quit bragging.

    Sep 16, 2010

  • BILL AKERS

    9 years being a one man show, hehehe, i can get-r-done

    Sep 16, 2010

  • Stuart Smith

    Maybe three knives a day for me if the blades are prepared and polished etc.

    Sep 16, 2010

  • BILL AKERS

    if i were to use blanks i could do 8- 10 in 9 hrs a day fileworked and all,no problem

    Sep 16, 2010


  • KnifeMaker

    Stefan Diedericks

    OK. stop this bragging now...face the fact that none of you are going to get to 5000+ knives, from raw material to finished product, in one day, or even one year. So stop the whining and show us some of your creations, and I hight show you what we make........
