I liked the vid. Good info. btw, how thick is the"Eli Machete"? I've seen a design diagram with 1/8" as a minimum, as I recall. Any experience with various thicknesses?
Starchaser, that was the first and last time I made a knife using 3/16" steel. I may do it again some day but probably unlikely. 1/8" stock seems plenty thick... PMZ
I like to read, write, hunt, hike, backpack, listen to music, worship God, and sit under trees. I love good gear, things that go BANG, things that are sharp, good tobacco, good beer (think Guinness) and good coffee/tea.
Recently I have been getting into learning and implementing primitive living skills, also known as Bushcraft. I have also been a prepper since 1998 or earlier.

I've been trying to do that for i don't know how long. Its really amazing for myself to see how somebody can really sharpen convexed edges on stones.
