Bladeshow 2026 Preview
Q: What are the top tips for going to the show?
Bring cash, be mindful of timing and distractions, and connect respectfully with vendors and neighbors to balance outreach with transactions.
Raw dogging a Potato
Q: Any tips on preventing glue spillout from bolsters into the blade on a full tang?
Keep glue usage minimal to form a film, drill shallow wells in the bolster area to give epoxy somewhere to go, and clamp firmly so epoxy is squeezed out evenly rather than pooling in the middle.
A Brand New Atmosphere
Q: What do you think about using sandblasting as part of blade finishing?
The guests discuss starting with moderate grits, considering media size and the finish goal, and then finishing with hand sanding for a balanced final look.
You’re doing too much. Stay out of there!
Q: What advice do you have for forging Damascus by hand without hydraulic presses?
Work smaller billets, focus on staying slow and deliberate, ensure each weld is solid, and restack carefully to maintain a diffusion-weld bond as you forge weld.
Losing It
Q: On kitchen knife handles, should the go-to be pins and epoxy or mechanical fasteners?
Mechanical fastenings like Corby bolts are favored as they provide better security compared to pins, especially when working with materials that shrink or expand, like wood.
