    My knife builds

    Late last year I made my first chefs knife & gave it to my step mother for Christmas. This year I decided to make chefs knives for my two brothers and sisters in law. I asked each of them for their favourite colours, so ended up with blue and pink for one couple, and orange and green for the...

    Shawn Ryan show

    I hadnt listened to any of them, but they kept on coming up in my youtube feed. After seeing this thread earlier, I decided to try a few. I kind of randomly listened to the Nick Bryant on Jeffrey Epstein & earlier podophile rings, then Sarah Adams on various conflicts & terrorists. They were...

    My knife builds

    This is a bowie made from 5.5mm S35VN steel with a sabre grind bevel and a harpoon grind on the swage. The handle is olive wood given to me by a friend, with black G10 liners brass pins & lanyard tube, with a hand rubbed Aussie Oil finish.

    My Summary of the “groups to small” “painless load dev” and Shoot2Hunt

    Since you are asking about a smithd barrel, my answer is focussed on custom barrels rather than factory barrels. Gun smiths dont stress relieve barrels. It is done as part of the barrel making process. Any top tear barrel (ie Bartlein, Kreiger - just names I am using as I am personally...

    Annealing when Changing caliber

    If its brand new brass, it shouldnt need it, but it wouldnt hurt. If you are doing multiple steps, and 6.5 to 22 would warrant a few passes, then it wouldn't hurt to anneal between each step. The last big project I did was to form 6.5 Lapua cases into 6GT. I did all that without annealing, but...

    My knife builds

    Made this one as an experiment. Its my first try at making a "Tracker knife". I used cheap Chinese 5.5mm stainless for the blade as it is the first go at a prototype and I wasnt sure how well it would come out. I didnt want to waste hundreds on good steel when it might end up in the scrap bin...

    Looks like instagram changed their algorithm in the last 24 hours?

    I dont have a problem with T&A per se, but it does highlight what I consider to be very selective censorship on the part of meta. I certainly dont see any issue with hunting related posts on social media. Is it any more "silly" for people to make hunting related posts on Rokslide? I consider a...

    Yeah, I get that and you are entitled to your view. But I enjoy seeing what knife makers are putting out, so enjoy checking my feed each day.

    So we should just ignore censorship as long as its conducted by private enterprise? Just because a business "can" do something, doesn't mean we have to accept it.

    Yes, but valuable content like shots of womens cleavage or butts is still okay 👎👎👎

    Just about all that I follow on instagram is hunters and knife makers. I checked my feed today, and pretty much every second post is how peoples accounts are now restricted to existing followers only and wont be shared with other members. One of the knife makers I follow had photos of him in...

    My knife builds

    Hi mate. Thanks for the comments. I think of myself as an advance novice by now :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Definitely no issues with the handle materials getting any damage while fitting. The most difficult part is keeping the taper grind 100% even across the taper. If I am slightly uneven...

    My knife builds

    Worried I might lose these in the bush... or maybe not. I made these two separately, but then decided to handle them as a pair. Steel on the hunting knife is 3.8mm Elmax, and the zipper blade is 3 mm SF100. The hunting knife has a tapered tang and a full flat grind. The zipper is a weird steep...

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    Benchrest rifles have had actions glued into stocks for decades. And by "glued in" I mean no action screws, just adhesive holding the action into the stock. Thats in cartridges like 6PPC, 22PPC, etc. For larger cartridges they are often "glued and screwed", meaning they have action screws, but...

    The 6UM

    Thanks. I have a good supply of 108gn ELD-M bullets, so that would be worth a look.
