  • Back in the game.

    I live in the Yarra Valley Victoria and have been making knives for 20 or so years. I only make a few these days and I playing around with some Damascus in my home made forge. I make a few cleavers from Bisaloy off cuts etc. I also collect a few items of interest re knife making; I have quite a lot of Sambar antler and ring gidgee I'd be interested in swapping/trading for interesting stuff. I also collect a lot of ram and goat horn. Cheers!

    Welcome!!

    G'day Sambarman

    Welcome to the forum!

    The Gallery is the place to put up images of the pieces you have created.

    If you want to swap/trade anything the Freebie section or Wanted section in the Exchange is the place to go. The forum doesn't yet have a place specifically for swap/trade. But that could change!

                    Nice Grinders mate!

                    I have the Radius master and multitool also (though mine is the smaller multitool.)

                          I have a couple of them. The contact wheel on mine is a little customised. I have a 14" one I'm working on for hollow grinding - just have to get off my a$$ and trun up a couple of bushes and fit it up. Where do you get your belts?

                              Sorry mate. I didn't know. I'll check out your catalogue. The local suppliers here tend to be a little expensive.
