    Thanks,

  • Jeremi Lett

    Cool.1 is ok,2 can be a challenge for a regular knife for sure.Try angular cuts,then strait cuts(horizontal) and you can tell what cut is tuffer.I am happy u have tried the cuts and hope u r as well.I have not had any formal training.

    Hey Alex, how are you doing. The other day you said you wish you had gotten a Shatt Morgan, little clip blade. I forget the name right now. I will offer it to you with no cost, no shipping charges, in exchange for a little knife made by you. Think about it and let me know what you think. We may have to equal the values but that's no problem. You certainly will not come out the looser, with ole Rob.

    Alex, the knife you mention was a Schatt Margan, File and wire Tested, 134ats, bone handle. I forget the name right now. You said you could kick yourself for not getting one while they were available. Any way, If you want it, I'll send it to you and we'll talk about my knife later. I'm sure though, I would want a small fixed blade, 7". Let me know if you want that knife and do the deal. I try find your address. If the knife you make is worth more than the folder I send you, I'll make it up, to you. You won't be the loser, dealing, with ole Rob.

    Alex, I was wondering if there's some info you need on that rasp fixed blade you need. Remember if it cost more than the value of the Schatt-Morgan, let me know. Rob

    You are right Alex. You were just busy, I thought. Studying, camping and sick, so I didn't want to bother you. I'll get some info together and let you know. I move slow....good buddy.

    Alex, this is the style knife, I'm looking for. A clip point with a swedge. This one is small but I thought about one at 9". It has Ebony handles, that would be great. Ask me about it. Thanks, good buddy.


  • In Memoriam

    Robert Burris

    No, Alex, I missed your message. I sent a picture of the style I was talking about.

    Robert Burris

    Yes Alex, that's great. Just make sure the belly is rounded not like a Tanto, with a corner. Very nice indeed. Thanks

    Alex, are you still interested in a AG Russell, Hen and Rooster with a Coffin handle? I spotted one that might go for a fairly low price. Let me know.

    Alex, I am giving away a Queen Mini Trapper in the Outdoor Group, in the 2014 Spring Adventure. Just enter a story or a picture of an Outdoor outing and you're entered. The contest ends at the end of May, so hurry.

    Hoi Alexander

    leuk stukje over waarom messen

    ik denk dat ik een combinatie ben tussen 'ik koop wat ik leuk vind' en een 'gebruiker' verder ben ik geloof ik een fan (geen fanboy) van kersaw/ZT hoewel ik er (nog) geen van heb.

    En omdat ik een technische opleiding heb ben ik ook heel geïnteresseerd in hoe messen gemaakt worden. Meer de theory waar ik alles van wil weten want ik heb geen tijd om er zelf te maken. Moet zeggen dat als ik die foto van je werkplaat zie, dat ziet er uit als maar een klein schuurtje. had gedacht dat je veel meer ruimte/apparatuur nodig zou hebben om messen te maken. 

    En leuk om hier ook nederlandse messen makers te zien.

    Vind je het niet moeilijk om een mes weg te doen als je er zo lang aan gewerkt hebt?

    groetjes,

    Richard

  • Richard van de Laarschot

    Ja het gaat er hier zeker vriendelijk aan toe. Ik voel me zeker welkom.

    Ben nieuwsgierig hoeveel van het messen maken doe je zelf?

    Ik neem aan dat je je staal inkoopt en niet zelf smeed?

    Nadat je het lemmet af hebt en het handvat gaat maken.

    Doe je de rest dan ook nog zelf, hout voor handvat stabiliseren, staal harden?

    Ik heb begrepen dat 10x0 staal best zelf te harden is maar alle "super" stalen eigenlijk 

    niet te doen zijn. Ben me een beetje aan het verdiepen in staal soorten

    maar ben er nog niet uit wat ik er van vindt. Simpel koolstof staal dat makkelijk te slijpen en te harden is en ook heel scherp word. Of de exotische stalen zoals Elmex en zo.

    Ik kan hier nog veel leren in ieder geval.

    Succes met je hobby

    Je maakt mooie messen

    Groetjes

    Richard
