Perfect. Thank you. How long is the handle?

You already have the knife, enjoy it and show us balance on yours.

Do you by chance know how much something like this goes for?

Bump.

This sounds very reasonable and I was going to suggest the same. I’ve seen so many mass drops like this fail because the maker gets overwhelmed with all the opinions and minor differences that make batch processing not possible. The whole point of something like this is to be able to streamline...

The reason wood might be important is because it might affect balance. Of course you could compensate with the tang length, thickness, but then the whole streamlining goes out the window if you had to mess with each. On the other hand I don't make knives so maybe I am overthinking it. To me...

How heavy/dense is redgum? Blackwood is heavy and big oak is usually not as much. What is the thickness of the M2 stock by the way?

I've had good results with Naniwa Nagura 220. It is SiC and cleans all sorts of stones well for me.

Wait, I thought he was a carpenter or some such.

No problem at all, good idea, won’t work here though. I have also seen it in other places though.

BST is about selling and buying. Any other comments unrelated to the selling or buying are unnecessary. In this particular case the prospective buyer is new, so no issues with him asking odd questions. Odd because the history of the line coming together should be asked in a DM or in a different...

The polishing guys are just nuts🤣 That part of the hobby has very little to do with knives, or rather with cutting. Perfect place for it in kitchen knife space since there is so much steel/iron to deal with. Part of the reason wrought, bloomery, etc are so popular. It is similar to how most...

Sure guys here can get too wrapped up over small stuff too, but at least heat treat and grinds matter for cutting performance. Lock design is not that important for cutting and as long as it works well it is fine. I even have folders without locks, oh the horror, how I still have all my digits...

OK, I agree, but I also think that all of the "I wish I could buy this..." or "If only it was longer, shorter, taller, etc." comments are unnecessary, I have made these myself though. Any comment in a BST thread that is not specifically asking about the item being sold is unnecessary to me...

I am just trying to understand if comments like these would qualify if they were made before the sale. I am not singling you out or pointing at intent, I just used first 2 comments of yours that I thought were in the same theme. I thought that using someone else's comments would be inappropriate...
