    "My very first knife" - post up!

    Thanks Bruce, I've made a few since that one and honestly I'm finding more flaws in my later work then my first one lol. I spent a ton of time on that first knife. I bet I have 40+ hours into it and lots of head scratching. Since my first knife I have stuck to full tang knives mostly. I have...

    Just finished this one up. My 3rd knife.

    Thanks everyone, I am happy with everything except the blueing but cold blueing sucks as it is and trying to do such a large knife makes things even harder. It's blotchy in the areas that I drew the temper on the spine so really there's nothing I could have done to make that part even. The...

    Hello from Saskatoon Saskatchewan

Most of the hand work I do is at home right in my kitchen table (I live in an appartment) I have the belt sander, drill press and forge at my dads place. I have...

    Hello from Saskatoon Saskatchewan

    Thanks Steven, where are you from? Just take your time and pay close attention to every step. My first knife was all a huge mistake and I don't believe anybody should do what I did for a first knife. It was very frustrating simply because it was an advanced knife compared to a simple stock...
