  Every once in a while I come across some limited quantity items that I think might be of interest to my customers either because they are unique or because I managed to get a pretty decent price. I'm also going to use this page to introduce new items, so check back often.

Knifemaking 101, 2 DVD Set 
Knifemaking 101 DVD Back In Stock: Terrific  Gift Idea
Knifemaking 101
is an introduction to the thoroughly enjoyable hobby of customizing your own high quality, hardworking knife from commonly available knife blanks. Almost anyone with minimum woodworking  or shop skills can produce a knife that they would be proud to use and display ( or give as a gift ) , a knife that could easily become an heirloom.

Knifemaking 101 takes you through, step by step,  in meticulous detail, all of the processes involved  in the personal production of your own functional  masterpiece. Designed for those that are new to this hobby, this two DVD set is also has a wealth of  hints ‘n’ tips that may give even the pro’s a new idea or two. Creativity, safety and common sense are  emphasized throughout . 

Part 1: The full tang knife design ( 1 Hour), looks  at the most common fixed blade designs and discusses the most usual methods of fabrication and customization. 

Part 2: The partial tang knife design ( 1 Hour) demonstrates the creativity available that this type of design offers and shows several techniques that can be applied to any of your future efforts. 

Presented in an entertaining, sometimes tongue-in-cheek format that emphasizes the fun and creativity of this hobby by knifemaker Pat Percival, a hobbyist who has been making knives for 20 years. ( Uh, yeah... the same Pat Percival who owns NorthCoast Knives. )

  NEW!!!  Gorilla Glue . 
NorthCoast Knives is proud to announce that we are now an authorized distributor of the Gorilla Glue line of products. This stuff, if you've never tried it, is indeed amazing.  Knifemaking will never be the same. I recommend the regular Gorilla Glue (either standard or Fast Cure) for a gluing scales to tangs or wood to wood joints. Your scales ain't going nowhere now !  The Gorilla Super Glue ( this is super glue on steroids!) is terrific for non-porous surfaces such as metal to metal.  I think that after you try this, you may never use any other type of glue or epoxy again.  New to Gorilla Glue? Read my instructions for use, click HERE.

  Intern Knife Blade
  NEW!  Intern   A great little everyday carry blade that is still capable of some serious work. 440C steel tempered to a respectable RC57-58.  2 3/4" blade, 6 3/4" overall, 1/8" thick, 1/4" pin and thong holes. I just got a small batch in, but this will probably become a standard item.  ( To see a picture of mine, click HERE)

  Ebay Blades: I call these Ebay blades because these are the ones that everyone seems to be selling  there. Never thought I'd ever carry carry blades from Pakistan but I had to see for myself what everyone was buying. I'm not going to tell you that these are the best blades I carry, but my first impression is that for the cost, these really aren't that bad: halfway decent grind , mirror polish finish. I'm just not sure how they'll hold up with any reasonable use. Economical as they are, these should be good for the first time knifemaker who doesn't want to sink a lot of money into their first attempt.  I tried scratching a few of them and I would guess that the hardness is around RC54 or Rc55. The included guards are OK I guess, but I'd consider replacing them. ( Hey, at least I'm more honest than the guys on Ebay!). If there is any interest in these, I'll start bringing a few more designs in and maybe even set up a "Pakistan" page on the website.
