So I really build custom furniture for a living and anything made out of wood I guess, but the past year I have been doing a lot of custom knives and I LOVE it!!! I don't do the metal, but I do have a survival knife blade style being cut out of steel for my own knife. So really what I do is the handles and the kydex sheaths. I just completed these four knives for a client who is giving them as presents, then I have three more to do that are due right after Christmas. Wicked fun stuff and has allowed me to invest in an arbor press and a Foredom Flex Shaft machine which is SO much better than a stupid Dremel POS! That will work good carving the faces of the wood poppers I make for fishing too. Gotta get ready for next summer! Lol!
