Every wonder how to find the proper angle while sharpening?

Maybe you have a Professional Knife Sharpener like the one below. Or maybe you just want to know what angle you are holding when sharpening. In the past I have covered these topics in other post. However I figured I would cover it from a new angle. 😀 pun intended.

 One simple way I have covered in the past, is to use paper, and known angles like below. Simply make a guide and placing it between the knife and sharpening stone. 

A new twist to this old trick […]

Let me help you learn how to make your own knife. Easy.

***Class is only available to attendees of the TSP Fall Event***

Cost $400 ($200 deposit $200 at the event) 

I am excited to be one of Jack Spirko’s instructors again this year! Jack’s “The Survival Podcast Workshop” sold out in just about 2 hours last time! That means that you guys really want to be at the 9 Mile Farm in November. And so do I!

This year there are less instructors and more time! Also we will have an area dedicated for the knife class. 

I will be bringing enough materials for a small 8 […]

TSP “Val” Genesis

I have had several request for a run of TSP Val Genesis. The last time we ran them it was a huge success. These are only going to be available for a limited time, and probably won’t be available again for quite a while.  This run is going to have the “Val” logo in place of the MT Knives logo in the photo (the MTK logo will be on the back side) Unless there is a landslide of orders They should ship in 2-3 weeks if not sooner.  

The Deadline for ordering will be Friday May 26th by Midnight.

 I am no longer going to stock sharpening supplies.

I want as many people to be able to keep their knives sharp as possible! And to save their money so they can spend it on a nice knife 🙂 So I am going to provide you with the links to the products I recommend as well as cheaper alternatives. I believe in buy once cry once. So it isn’t really a recommendation, but I understand some people just prefer to go with the cheapest route available. These links are Amazon Affiliate links and I will get a small percentage of the sale cost. However, it doesn’t cost you any more than it would if you bought straight from Amazon.

I may be […]

Stakeholder of the Month

I thought it would be fun to feature a Stakeholder of the Month so you and I could hear from the people who help make it MT Knives Great! It is also encouraging for me  to hear from them in their own words why they decided to support MT Knives. So Here is the first one.

I am excited to be one of Jack Spirko’s instructors this year! Jack’s “The Survival Podcast Workshop” sold out in just about 2 hours last time! That means that you guys really want to be at the 9 Mile Farm in March. And so do I!

I can’t wait to share what I know about knife making with you. I am the first instructor on the first day so bring your coffee! (Brew it extra strong Jack, we have important stuff to talk about!) This year as you may know Jack is changing the format […]

Lemons

Lemons are good but Lemonade is better! Sometimes when making knives you make mistakes, some can be fixed and others cannot. I have always said integrity is the most important quality of a knife maker, in fact I think integrity is the most important quality of any person.  Where am I going with this? Well with over 1,000 Genesis produced it was bound to happened, the last Genesis I got in didn’t pass my rigid standard of quality. The laser cutting left some deep marks that will not come out without having to remove too much steel! Fortunately the knives are not worthless, they just are not up to my standards. In […]
