    Curious - these must be stamped blanks that you are purchasing by all the holes in that  piece. Do they have many shapes and sizes plus types of metal available? Can a guy just buy one or two blanks? Care to share the source?

    @RRP  My goodness, I'm almost offended :)

    I buy 2x1/8 bar stock and grind the shapes by hand. Add holes with the drill press etc. No idea where you would buy blanks. 

    Edit: did a longer reply with more steps but the :) I added from my phone seemed to be screwing it up.

    Sorry! I did not mean to. I just saw all those holes in the handle area and thought those allowed optional types of handles to be added for the creativeness.

    I was worried my edit wouldn't get there in time. Not at all offended. Take it as a compliment that you thought that be the case.
    Didnt realize iPhone emoji's ended you message where you place them.

    Just started taking some knife making/blacksmithing classes. Nice looking piece. I'd vote for @lousubcap if you pinned me down.

    Extra cool making the knifes from scratch! There are knife blanks available such as this one:

    I'm wondering regarding your other comment about making sheaths. Have you looked into Kydex? I have 4 sheets of it and just haven't found the time to get started. From what I've seen it doesn't take long to custom form holsters, knife sheaths etc.

    @gmac, great gesture - Stand up move!  On my first brisket @YukonRon and @lousubcap went out of their way. Ron even gave me his phone number and offered to take a call at any time - despite dealing with a sick child at the time....  I agree there are many really helpful people on the forum but can't say enough about these two.

    Thanks @Ozzie_Isaac , though I don't hold a candle to these other guys. 

    @lousubcap probably for my one. He's answered how to nail a brisket more times than I could count and detailed description too, everytime.
