First Knife Pic

[Matches]

Well, it came out better than I expected.I ran into problems heat treating so I decided to continue on with construction to see if completeing a knife was do-able for me. Will be building a forge this winter and have steel stock for two more knives this coming spring. Thanks for the info. I've picked up here

My First Knife

That's a heck of a first knife! You wouldn't want to see my first one.

Thanks Mike,but you woundn't want to see this one close-up

 

[Matt Shade]

Nice work Looks pretty clean for your first time. You got all the parts together with no major flaws that I can see, you have to be able to do that before you can worry about that perfect finish. Keep it up.

Matches, good and clean, fella. I viewed your other pics also. Cat pics cracked me up! Especially the laughing cat one!

 

[Matches]

Thanks Matt,I'm already looking forward to the next one, but am waiting till spring when I have a forge.

Thanks Old Hickory, I particularly like the "laughing cat" as one of mine has a gas problem

Nice first effort, Matches.
Looks like it'll serve you well, and BTW, welcome to the addiction!

 

[Matches]

Yeah misque...I got it bad

Fine work! I hope mine turns out half that well.

 

[J. Neilson]
