Just finished a new model, with PICS!

[Chiro75]

Well, if the Jones Bros. can do it, then so can I! My first knife made and heat-treated at home. Crude, poor-cutting, and I love it! I named it the Little Bully.

Specs:
* 3/16" 1084 steel differentially heat-treated and tempered.
* Blade is about 3.5" OAL is around 7".
* Blade is convex ground with a file and has been etched to reveal the temper line.
* Handle is black linen Micarta with red liners and four 3/32" diameter stainless pins. Scales are finished to 120 grit for a grippy, but smooth, feel.
* Light filework on the spine for thumb traction (yes, I made the file cuts graduating in size on purpose!). Whaddya think?

I like the shape of it.Kind of reminds me of a pygmy tanto.Perhaps you could have gotten a bit more cutting efficiency out of a small knife by using thinner stock though.Looks good for a first effort.

good style. I like the little bully. My first is called the elephant. 3/16" 0-1, 1/4" dymondwood handles, 5 old nails as pins, heat treated by the local machinist, kinda convex thru use of files, but no filework. No scanner, so no pic

. FOr a blade like the one you are talking about, forget the chisel and I might pay around $100 for it.
