A knife for my neighbor, and My first hamon.

[C.Edmondson]

Heres a couple I made today for my neighbor, Hes a SSGT recruiter and wanted a knife to take on his next trip to Iraq. He wanted one small knife that would fit into his boot and another one to carry on his side. He drew out the size and I did my best to forge it out. He keeps me with plenty of para cord so the least I could do was make him a couple of knives, Thanks for all the help on the forum,Charlie, Knives are 1080 steel and the hamon knife isnt finished yet, gotta get her done soon

That thing looks really tough, I bet he will love it.

Thank you very much for the nice comment, I have a ways to go on wrapping para-cord handles, it was my first one. For the last 7 months or so I have just destroyed about every knife I made to check my heat trating tempering process and feel confident I have it down now. thanks again,Charlie
