Re: advice for wa handle replacing
I’ve done a few re handles at home, and I’ve notice sometimes there’s additional shims they glue to the tang and then glue the whole apparatus into the handle, maybe you can do the same with little strips of wood shims, maybe even tooth picks? I also use Hot glue instead of cold and Sometimes I deb...

Re: advice for wa handle replacing
I have recently switched to hot glue. I don’t add cold glue to the tang hole, I am afraid it might not melt and will rattle around after the install, I just add hot glue with the glue gun to the hole. Then heat up the tang and push it in. It doesn’t take much.

Re: Classified Updated Rules.
Lots of potential for scams, regardless of what you use. PayPal is likely the best protected, but certainly between the buyer and seller. I don't use anything but PayPal for those on the forum who I don't know. Well said. Venmo (a subsidiary of PayPal) now offers “purchase protection “. For what it...

Re: Learn to make knives in Kochi Japan
This sums it up. I do stock removal as a hobby business, it’s profitable, but I would struggle to support my family. It is fun, and rewarding. No, you lose more money making knives than buying them!!! If you want to be a millionaire as a knifemaker, start with 2 million! LOL. Forge, anvil, heat trea...

I suggest stabilizing non ebony woods just because they are lower maintenance.

Re: Metallurgist question re Carbon Steel
I have thought about what it would take to make a clad pan that layers carbon steel to a conductive core. The short answer, it’s not easy.
You may get some galvanic reaction that don’t happen when chromium is present, but I have to dig into see if I can back that statement up with science.

Re: Knife Puzzle
It shouldn’t be too hard to get decently large photos, glue down to card board or thin plywood and send to a laser cutter.
There are services that will do it all from a photo. I bet the knife collection thread has some good ones.

Re: How to learn which steels are finer grained.
Yeah, simple steels are fine grained and dont have many carbides, so they are easy to sharpen and touch up, but dont hold an edge as long as a more highly alloyed steel. The more alloys, the harder it is to sharpen, but should hold the edge longer. Most people wont notice the difference in how fine...

Re: How to learn which steels are finer grained.
It not only depends on steel type, but more importantly who did the heat treating. Lots of makers will snap test a coupon of steel to visually inspect. If it looks anything short of smooth that’s a problem.

Re: Question for the Chinese Cleaver Lovers...
So I have to ask, is this the CCK you are using? CCK Small Cleaver KF1303 https://www.chefknivestogo.com/cckcleaver2.html It's an older version than that one if they're the same of course. The characters are engraved differently. But the measurements are just about the same. So I'm going to say pro...
