My first knife I made !

[SENGVIN]

So I had the privilege to attend knife making class with Gil Hibben and his son Wes. I went down there to Kentucky with my father as well and he made knife as well. So with Gil's and Wes's help we made two knives and I'm hooked ! I may sell my knife collection and will start buying equipment to start making knives
We where also making Knife sheaths with Derek H. supervision (will post pictures of that later)
Without further ado ...: ( I made the bowie my father made the Dagger and than he was helping me with the bowie)

Definitely not My father and I made it and it means a lot to us both since we where working on it together. But I let him know that u did like it

Obviously Gil is a great teacher and you both learn quickly. I wish that I could have gotten to know him while he was in Branson. He might have taken years off of my learning curve.

Very nicely done.

Thanks for posting.

Yes there is a lot to learn in his class, I'm sure any knife maker would take something from it.
