I made my "first" knife

Cool knife! I've wanted to make a knife for a while. Your work is very encouraging.
 
I love this. It looks so nice.

My first knife (it was a failure and did not finish) was also a saw blade.

Congratulation and thank you for sharing.
 
got the chance to use this one outside today. i did several things with it. carving, fuzz stick making, and notching. it was pretty good at just about everthing i did.

sheath pics coming.
 
Looks like a fantastic user - and a very efficient cutting tool. The sheath turned out nicely. That picture of the knife on top of the frozen creek is great!

Thanks for sharing, and all the best,

the creek pic is actually my current computer background.
 
First knife? Looks really, really nice for a first knife. You obviously have a talent. I'm looking forward to seeing future knives you make.
 
Very nice work, BF. Not only the pride of ownership, but also the pride of manufacture. You can't beat that. :thumbup:
