First Knife

[JK Knives]

This is the first knife I ever made, from a power hacksaw blade.

That's a keeper!

Cool, John - I never saw that one at any of your Gatherings.

Not a bad design either - a little Lobo and a lot of Kephart in that design; a harbinger of great things to come.

Thanks for posting the picture and I am happy to hear you are feeling much better (thanks for the phone call yesterday - it made my day! )

best

I made my first knife from a popsicle stick, used the sidewalk to grind!

I made my first knife from a piece of wood, I carved it to look like a seven inch blade, made grooves to wrap a boot lace around it for a grip, and made a cardboard sheath from a paper towel roll. The inspiration came from watching all the Tarzan films on weekends. I quickly put a chord through it, tied it to my waist and started climbing trees in the backyard. I think I was 10 or 11. It all started from there.
