Does anyone have a list of available training videos and who we could order them from? I have heard of a couple on the knife list but can't seem to get a list anywhere. I am interested in flat grinding and construction techniques for fixed blade knives. I have most of the books but I hope that watching someone do the deed would help.
Thanks
Steve

Steve-

The "Loveless Legend" video is available through Blade Magazine. Although it deals with hollow grinding, the assembly techniques for fixed blades are very solid. If you are like me, you will watch it *many* times, and learn something new with each viewing.

Steve I highly recomend The Loveless Legend, I have seen the tape and it is a good place to start.They are a lot of good books out there but none of them cover everything and for me a pic just won't cut it. I suspect you are like me somewhat,you gotta see it to fully understand it.

Allen blade hs some of the best for grind making sheath and heat treating.
GenO has a great tape try him it does not get much better than his www.centetcross.com

I have the Loveless legend and Geno's video. Both are great.

Geno explains more than Loveless does in his video (in my opinion). Also, not everyone has the milling machines, milling jigs and patterns that Loveless shows in use. Geno does not use them in his video at all. Geno also shows filework and tooling leather that Loveless does not.

Loveless' video is very good but I was disapointed that I did not have the tools needed to duplicate his methods. I therefore had to come up with another way to do the same things. It forces you to be creative and the is a positive thing.


Personally, I would spring for Geno's video first.
Go here www.centercross.com/video.htm (http://www.centercross.com/video.htm) to order the video.

Thanks Bob and Nathan,

Steve, My video is newly released and selling like crazy!
Grampa warned me if I keep messing around long enough,I might do something right:) .

I hope to have other training videos soon, but this one covers the basics and more for $20.00
If you want to make straight blades, this one is for you.
I hope you enjoy it:)

Put me on your list for your next video
I have 7 other knife making videos and none
compair to yours,you take the viewer through
all stage of making not just bits and peaces
Keep up the good work your hunter video taught me
how to hand sand now I now the trick to it
keep up the good work Gene and glade
to see you are still here,it is in your blood and there
is no cure for making blades.
I think making a knife is the next best thing besides
heaven

Nathan,
My wife got tired of me making babies and told me to go out to the shop.
The rest is history. :)
