My grinds did leave a lot to be desired back then,and handles were too thin, but at least the handle was oak.
Yeah, yeah, you know what a soft spot I have for oak. :thumbup: This one is awesome, but I'm not buying one like it until after I play with the passaround knife.

Every knife I made back then was oak, it`s all I could find.

As long as I`m having flashbacks I might as well show the second one I ever made. This was my idea of a Nessmuk that I donated for a passaround. The picture was taken by our own Kevin Estela, who was involved in the passaround. Once again, the handles were oak.

I was digging around in my "box of junk" this morning. (I`m sure you all have one too
That is great! I love the combination of that blade shape with that handle! That is not the oak nessmuk on you site is it? I'm LOVING the handle on it!!! wow, that I think (at least by the looks of it) is one of the nicest handles I have seen....it is begging to be picked up and used!
"I was going for the old time look" :thumbup::thumbup: My favorite kind of look! Though I prefer to say "old timey" lol. Those are fantastic John! I am quite impressed with your first ones.

The one on my site is bear`s. The one shown was given away at the end of the passaround. I don`t say "old timey" people might think I`m talking about myself!

As long as we are strolling down memory lane, here is another early one. This one showed up on the exchange a while back. None of these have my "K" stamped on them. And yes, it`s oak.
Holy crap John, these are fantastic!

I guess those could be scalper patterns. Very cool. They need some mustard and some character marks
