Great thread, Happy New Year everyone, Jess
 
So I've been at it now for just over a year, and have finished about 15 knives so far. I was really proud of my first knife, but now I look back at it and wonder what I was thinking. So everyone, lets see how you started out, and how far you've come. Tell us about places where you feel you've improved the most.

Here are my first and last knives. I think I have come a long way in handle symmetry and design. And my sheaths have come a long way too.

My first




And the last knife I have finished


 
i think there are about 15 of these threads. but that first knife was a good start by most standards!
 
Thanks. I worked hard on that first knife (so I thought). Also, I did a forums search to find any threads like this before I posted it, and I didn't see one anything like it. Plenty about peoples first knives, but none comparing their work then and now. Did I miss something here?

my first was the little black wrap one. the other two were kind of simultaneously.

your first is pretty good second is great. my next should be nice. putting a nice curley maple handle on it.
 
I hear an echo......echo.....echo....

Just scroll down. A thread like this was just on last week I think.

No worries... it happens...

Yep, some folks don't know yet how fast this forum runs, heck page three is less than 48 hours old.
 
Again, I looked and found no such thread before I posted. Unless I come on this forum every day I will miss something and end up starting a thread that may or may not have been done. I suppose it would just be best to not post at all. I will close this thread.
 
Yes, this subject is discussed in a new thread regularly. No problem with that. Anytime someone discovers a thread that is nearly identical to one also running currently, feel free to PM a mod and we can combine them....as I will do to this thread.

If you are going to post a new thread that you think may be a common topic, it is a good idea to do a search with the Bladeforums search engine.

Since all I did was add a SA comment, here is my first.
IF I can do it, anyone can.

Here's my first. I count both as my first because I finished them at the same time since I worked on them as a batch.

And here's my latest, it's my fifth.
