Thanks for looking

Good looking knife, I love the mammoth. Great finish on the blade as well!

Great work!

Wow! That's beautiful. I would be proud to own that one!

Great work, that one is beautiful.

That looks good. Solid work. The handle material was a good choice.

The nail nick isn't working for me though. I think a more robust and centered nick would fit with this knife better.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

I agree, morrow
The nicks are not easy to get right.
Did a great job on the knife, they are not an easy knife to make.
I'm sure they will even get better, if this what his first looks like?

Again good looking knife, congrats.

Thank's all for the kind words.
@clink619
it is my first slippie, but I did in knifemaking (as a hobby) for several years.
I did the peening with a ballhammer for the first time and it work's well for me
I just made 10 Backlocks and 80 Hunters and Nordic knives.
@morrowj_98 and TA
I know that with the nailnick, but I didn't found the right tool. I did it with the disk in a Dremel :-(

Here is N°2. I made them in a bundle.
It is fittet with stabilized Giraffebones und Waterbuffalo
