Its not a "professional" job, but i am very happy with it, and i'll continue making more and hopefully improving!!

Let me know if you like it guys :)
 
haha nice, ive been following the videos on youtube on this project. the home made micarta is pretty interesting.
 
I'm not sure what the hole in the blade is for.....but for a first knife the design is sensible and the workmanship looks very nice.

Excellent job! Congratulations!

I look forward to seeing your next knife.

The hole was there when i started working with the steel, BUT the hole helps to choke up even more, especially good for when skinning, or doing fine work :)
 
Very nice for a first knife. My first looked like a prison box cutter shank. I think your first even looks better than my second, third and fourth knives. Far Right is second (Mini-bushcraft), Far left is third (Recurve Stag Hunter) and center is my fourth (Famine Survival Tanto)

Good job, fella! I especially like the scales... very cool! :thumbup:
 
Great job... here's to many more!
 
I dont get the hole either.Did you grind the blade and heat treat it or did you put handles on a finished blade?Jeancarta makes a good handle material!

The hole was there when i started working on it, BUT it works quite well for choking up acutally :). And i did not grind the blade, i used an old broken knife i had lying around, and i fixed it up a bit, shaped the blade, sanded it nicely to have that nice finish (in my opinion) and made the micarta aka "jeancarta" myself for the handle, and put it together.

Next time i'll try heattreating :)
