First knife

Thx Papy!
Thx for the suggestion Grizzly. I really meant to have SS,red,horn,red,SS,but I didnt order enough SS spacers and didnt want to wait for more :mad: . This one will be one of my camping knives. I'm going to beat it and see how she holds up.
 
Great first Knife, wish mine turned out that well, the 2nd one is interesting. I will be attempting something similar to your first one (and the Benchmade Activator) sometime soon, hopefully it turns out as well!

They all look nice. On the Lauri, your transitions between wood and spacer look nice and smooth.

I find that when I am shaping handles, I use a Nicholson rasp quite a bit, as well as using a half-round file (mostly as a sanding block), and the dremel tool with a tiny sanding drum.

Here's my "claim to fame.": I was born in Sulphur, Oklahoma, just about 15 miles east from Davis, where the Jantz blades are made.

Fun.
 
Thanks Blue squatch and Red Squid!... Squid, I mostly used the belt sander then hand sanded. The belt sander took off a little too much, to quick. Wish my palm swell was more centered. I really didnt plan out how I wanted to shape it. Next one I will take my time, and maybe use my files more. Thx for the advice.
