First Complete Knife. Don't be Shy...

It looks good. For some reason it reminds me of one of those tall skinny native sculptures, if you stood it on end and took a silhouette.. just sayin' kinda cool.

You are right, it is a smidge off. I think these pin holes were pre- drill press for me, so I had some wondering with my hand drill...

If you don't have a punch you can take a worn our Robertson screwdriver bit, the hex type, and sharpen it up into a punch, they are generally pretty hard and will usually make a good punch.

You know it is funny because I did use a punch, but my bit was still wondering off a lot. I am guessing that the bit I used was probably dull?

Could be a dull bit or if the sharpening is not bang-on even on both sides they tend to wander more.
