Way way early. We're likely several months away. I need a bunch of tools and a lot of trial and error. Here are some pics with a chunk of carbon steel (not blade steel) to test current equipment capabilities.

Hardware and tools ordered. Glad I didn't get that ZT Felon.

Looks nice - never owned this style. How do they carry
It should carry okay. I plan to make the tang (the long piece that sticks out when closed) long. I like they way it looks. This will make it longer in the pocket. The overall knife is going to be around 6 inches.
So it will be bigger than what you likely carry, but it will carry better than you probably think.

Oh I will need a piece of 3/16 rod I think. I might have something. I'll let you know.

Put on a 36 grit. The little guy is pretty capable with that belt.
I need more practice with the FFG. The rest I'm okay with. I think when I get the knife steel, instead of craters, I'm going to beat it with a slag hammer and acid etch it. The craters make it look fake. I'm going for faux rot.
