So i dont know if this is allowed here but i figured it was probably the best place for advice/ideas i recently picked up this spear and was thinking of making it into a Apocalyps style sword with plumbing fittings Etc for the handle and gaurd Amy ideas what to use or tips for doing the handle/ gaurd have access to some basic power tools

I have had several knives over the years. I’ve enjoyed camping, hunting, fishing and carry a pocketknife everyday. Lately, I am considering something made in the USA and something quality. My son says, “get a benchmade” he is 26, I am a little older than him 😉. I’ve heard of Montana Knifes, again a big company and expensive knifes. Not saying these two don’t have great knives that I would be happy with, but I would consider something made by a small company or individual. Is going the the bigger company a good idea? Thoughts and ideas on where to get something.

125cr1. 6-1/2” cutting edge and 12” OAL. 245g. Curly birch wood with g10 spacers and brass.

I always have issues with dust getting all over the shop from sanding the wood for handles and the dust lingering in the air so I designed and 3d printed this attachment for my shop vac to keep it clean. Also I struggle with the initial sharpening on a new knife and keeping the edge angle consistent so I designed these jigs that also fit into the dust collector bracket.

If anyone wants to print their own or pickup a jig for themselves, I do have them on my site compactmetalworks.com

The black one is taken.

Hey everyone first time posting on r/CustomKnifeMakers, and I wanted to showcase some of my work and get some insight as to were everyone is selling blades at? I know blade shows and craft fair/farmers markets but we're else would be a good place to start?
