Hi My name is Brian Swink. I have been trying to make a few knives for 5 months now. Jamin Brackett Got me started a month after he got into Knife making. I was in scouts with Brian Goode so I have got alot of my help on my blade making from him. I would like to think Jamin for getting me into the hobby an learning with him and it has been nice getting help from Brian Goode that I had not seen in 15 + years. I will try to post a few as I go along.

Thanks let me know what you think.

Knife is made of O-1 7 3/4 inch total length, acid etched. micarta handle.

Love it. That looks to me to be just about perfect. :thumbup:
 
There you go! Brian made Eagle Scout and I got to Life. His dad was my father figure being the Scout Master. It was my pleasure showing him what I have learned. Good looking etch too!
 
Great looking knife, and you can spot the BLGoode influence across the room! :thumbup:
 
Great looking knife and sheat,
I like!

If you don’t mind my asking,
how you etch it

best regards
 
Very well done, Brian. Can't wait to see the next batch. You got to post the one I call the banana. The photos don't do them justice, they feel exceptionaly good, heavy users. Keep up the good work.
 
Thanks everyone for all the kind words. I got a few more I will try to post soon. I etched the blade with Radio shack acid and water. Finished it up with 0000 steel wool with oil.

thank you:thumbup:
 
Very cool....and even more so from a fellow Scout. I, too, was in Boy Scouts in the early to mid 90's, getting my Eagle Scout in 1995 (I think lol, it was around that time). I think being in Boy Scouts was what really got me started into knives then. None of the other boys got to have the knives I did (over protective parents)...so they all came to me on camp outs to borrow some of the cool knives I had. :)
