Title: Show me your knife Vise
Post by: Bobby Urban on February 16, 2009, 07:07:00 AM

Probably been covered on this forum many times but I cannot find any threads that talk about making a knife vise?  Could someone direct me to thread(s) talking about this. I have seen some really nice ones made from pieces of pipe and would like to make my own.  Any pictures of what you are useing would help a ton.  Like many of you, I am very visual so some good pics of your vise would be great.  

Thank you for any advise, pics, help you can provide.

I use a panavise, do a search, they are inexpensive and work fine.  Dan

Here's one I use for finishing out the blades and twekaing the handles.
I also use another one that I don't have photos of right now. Some folks call a "Moran" vise - a tube inside a tube.
All made from scrap.
This one has a bolt through the rear for rotation.

Here is a work station for gluing and filing, etc.
I got tired of having a vise on a work bench and only being able to access 180 degrees of the work!!
This way I can work the knife from all directions.

That's a nice set up KBA... I may have to "borrow" that idea!
