thanks for the compliment about the photo. i don't know how to make knives at the beach jeff but if you ever find out let me know cuz it sounds like a great idea you crazy guy.
Hey Jeff,
You need to be giving ME advise. You're way ahead of me in experience. All I'm doing is making new handles, and you're making the whole enchilata. My next project is making red dinosaur gemstone handles for a horsie. If you're ever interested in gemstone, let me know. I've found a good source.

hey jeff . have read your profile , we have all the same interest, and just about the same vocations, thanks for having me as an online friend, so long for now and have a very happy new year to you and wife.
Jeff I have debated this for months... the file below clears up nothing re:corelon being corian - in my research below there are two separate products although they could be near moleculare matches but on is DuPont TM and Carelon is a TM of frost. I got you a supplier of Corian Shelds but Frost I guess has 7 years to be the sole supplier of Corelon. In High End Inported Blades a version of Corian is use in Japan and A. G. uses Corian as a handle in his kitchen cutlery..Wheh......This is now put to bed for me...I rased the question months ago!
Stay away from my antlers!!!! LOL...Sorry buddy...I have been hunting deer for over 20 years and I have a very nice collection of antlers (over 30 sets) from the deer that I have taken. They are priceless to me because each one has a story and memory. If I'm lucky enough to harvest one next year, I'll make sure I have a sign made up that says "knife makers stay away" when the pictures are taken.
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the comment. I'm a newby at re-dos, but I'm really enjoying it. I'm about finished with my latest..dinosaur gemstone handles on a Seahorse Whittler. I'll post a picture in the next few days.
I'd be happy to pass on anything that I can to you. I'm learning by trial & error. I've had a woodworking shop for many years, so I'm accustomed to working with tools. The only tool I added for this hobby was a cheapo 1" X 30" belt sander....got it at Harbour Freight for about 40 bucks.
Probably be easier to email each other direct to discuss this. Please feel free to email me.

Jeff,
Make that knife a Mini Blackhorn. (#059L)
Here is a pic of a mod that another carver did with his. Mine looks pretty similar.
Cut the end off with a diamond wheel...
Final shaping with sand paper.
Lowes around here has them for $9.95 or less. Makes a handy little knife to throw in a box where you may need one.
Sorry, I don't know a Matt Kelly and although I wish I was a knife maker, I'm just a dealer, specializing in working knives. I work with knife makers to bring their knives to a larger audience. Thanks for the comment.
