Great job and congrats on your first! I really like it and the scales look great...

 

[mitch8]

that's very impressive for a first knife! (i didn't even let my close friends see my first 3 due to shame
did you really go out and buy a belt grinder for your first knife? if so i'm impressed with how ready you are to just jump in like that.
and what plans do you have for the sheath?

Thanks. I did go out and buy a belt grinder but it has many other uses that are good for my other interests as well, like woodworking and bike frame building.

I already made a kydex sheath for it.

widerstand, do mind me asking how much/where you got your beltgrinder? ive been considering an upgrade from my powerless 1x30. And that's cool that you make frames! do you have a site so we could check out your bikes?

 

[Shaw Blades]

This one is all done, made some mistakes on it but learned a lot.

Very nice.

Nice looking knife. Things a beast. If that's your first, they'll be amazing when you get some "experience."

I got a KMG grinder with a bunch of add-ons. I think I spent $2900.

Very nice.

Thank you both for the kind words of encouragement.

So here is the sheath, and a ridiculously large matching firesteel also.

Excellent job! That right there is begging for some work.

 

[Lint]

I had a chance to see this in person, and it's amazing. I can't believe this is your first knife!

 

[PT Doc]

Very nice.

Looks great! I am lovin' the matching fire steel.The handle on the fire steel looks like it gives you a nice grip,great idea.
