I finished knife #3 a while back it is a copy of knife #1 but I went thinner on the scales. I handled a Dozier since making #1 and the thin grip just feels right in the hand. Knife #1 is headed to the grinder for some scale thinning soon to match. ![[Linked Image]](http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q129/nimrod1949/IMG_0159.jpg) Knives #4-5 are in the works. I'm slowly working on some grinder upgrades to help with grinding symitry, primarily the platen, and going from 2"x42" to 2"x72". I've got a lead on a new steel source so should be getting to try some S30V soon. This one is already off to it's new home. I figured if I was sending them out without any information on them they were next to valueless tools so I invested in an electoetcher for my 'logo' and steel type. ![[Linked Image]](http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q129/nimrod1949/IMG_0140.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q129/nimrod1949/IMG_0151.jpg)

Nimrod,
Very nice work!!!
Please tell me more about the etcher and stencils. A PM is okay if you like. I am a hobbist maker and right now I am sending my blades out to be laser engraved.

Jeff Another member posted a question about etchers. How about posting it here, instead of PM? I would like to know about them, too.

I agree, close to a #1 Semi...and you couldn't find a better pattern to follow. Sweet...
Mate a B&T style blade to the same handle then pair the two in S30V and I'd be very interested in a set!
Great job!

#3's new home is right here in Wyoming. A very nice knife that is already at work. Nimrod is a good guy to deal with too.

That looks like a nice design and knife looks great.
A gun in the hand is worth more than the entire police force on the phone.
