No more baby blues

Got rid of that factory blue with some graphite Rit Dyemore. So much better

How’s everyone feel about Elmax steel?

IMO it’s one of the best all-around steels, but for some reason I don’t see many people carry it. Why do you think that is? Do you think there are just too many alternatives that are just as good if not better available? Which steel do you prefer to carry?

Need advice

I’m finally going to be purchasing my first Chris Reeve knife but I’m unsure which to get. I really like everything about the Sebenza with the Insingo blade, but I’ve seen many people raving about the Umnumzaan. Which one should I pull the trigger on?

First time attempting to whittle

I believe this is a piece of pine. I decided to try my hand at woodcarving, much harder than it looks. Any tips for a beginner would be greatly appreciated

Historical savings

What knife would you say is the best value for the price in history? My vote would have to be the French Opinel.

Update on first mod

Settled on the handle shape, sanded. Question: linseed oil or stain or could/should I keep it natural? I personally like the look of the raw beechwood

Recommendations??

Looking to buy a new Spyderco, just don’t know which to get. I’ve been stuck on Benchmade for the longest but after purchasing a cheap Byrd Cara Cara 2 I’ve decided it’s worth looking into more from the brand. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Custom attempt #1

First attempt at modifying a #8. So far I’ve forced patina the blade with white vinegar, blade shape modification, and handle carving. Thoughts, critiques, and suggestions welcome
