First knife, start to finish

Just goes to show what a little determination can produce. Kiln aside, it was completed with no fancy equipment.

Ya done good. Now let us know how well it serves its intended purpose.

An enjoyable thread and a very nice knife - well done on both counts.

Thanks, Kevin. It's worse than that. Me and my girlfriend share a small one bedroom apartment. The only one happier than me that this is done is her. She's demanding a month free of knifery to recover, but I'm anxious to get going on the next one.

I was able to do the homemade micarta and heat treating over at my mom's house, but the rest was here in the living room.

Now that I've got a feel for the hand filing, I'm going to buy a cheap angle grinder to speed things up for the next one. I'll have to find a place to work with that or I'll be single again for sure.

Wow, she's quite a lady and a keeper. ;) :)
We will be looking forward to your next.
