1st chute knife

[john april]

hello, this is my first attempt at a double grind, and a chute knife. i recently bought a 4" wheel and finally decided to give it a try. it is 1084 steel and just under 9 inches overall. it was very challenging and fun to make. thanks for taking a look !

WOW!!!!!!!

Hard to believe that's your first shot at such......extraordinarily clean, as usual, and my favorite colors to boot.

John, you did an extraordinarily beautiful job! Keep 'em coming!

Very nice job on the knife and the sheath, the red liners really set it off.

Very Loveless if I must say. That is very pretty. To commemorate your first attempt, I think a GAW is in order?? Have a wonderful 4th.

I don't think luck has anything to do with it, that is pure talent!
