3rd Knife completed....

[mt_hangglider]

Here is my 3rd knife I just finished this morning.... Still using someone elses Damascus but hope to get into making my own blades from raw materials soon. Anyway, the wood is a beautiful Cocobolo and the picture doesn't do it justice. Just thought I'd share with y'all. Thanks and have a good rest of the week. I am going in for a Tonsillectomy tomorrow (at nearly 30 years old ) so my knifemaking is going to be limited for a while. -Chad

Is it just purchased damascus and you ground the blade? If so excellent job. No different than grinding one out from any other piece of steel. That cocobola is nice.:thumbup:

Chad, you have a good eye for design. That baby "flows" nicely!

It looks great. I used Cocobolo on my first knife- lovely wood.

Thank you all for your replies! I never thought knife making would be such an addictive hobby! It brings a smile to my face every time I look at a knife I made. There is something to be said for that kind of satisfaction.
