KNIFE MAKER
Finished this for a FL fisherman and was given free reign on design. What I came up with looks like a kitchen knife but is supposed to be for bigger fish and hope it works for that. It is 1/8" 440C, 7" blade 12" OA, blue G10, SS Loveless bolts and tube. All comments welcome and thanks for lookin'.

Really like the looks of this and those bolts are perfect for this style handle. This one should get alot of use and it looks like it can handle it. Wade
 
Thanks a lot for the nice comments guys. I had that knot in my stomach when making it as I had no pattern and wasn't sure about design - guess that's supposed to be fun part-:happy:

Yep!
For years I made all of my knives that way. The way I would look at it is that the knife is in there!
I have to let it out of that bar of steel, as I started to grind with the idea of Bowie, Fillet or Chef knife in my head, the design was revealed as I would grind the steel away.

I miss it!
Have many proven patterns these days but think I will make a few the fun way again!
