My First Knife

[wally102]

I finally finished my first knife. Made with D2 steel, blade is just under 3.5" in length. I made some mistakes in the process, but am very pleased with the results. I plan on making more knifes in the future!

Awesome! I am finishing the scales on my first "good" knife also in d2. Something about d2 I find really attractive, maybe its the roughness of it, not quite stainless and all a bit aggressive. I have a couple small knives I have sketched on the scraps and contemplated the next piece of steel and even though its not the easiest to work I think I'll stay with d2 because not only do I just have a strange affinity for it but figure getting good with a tougher one will help out when the steels an easier variety. Keep up the great work and hopefully mine come out as good!

You should be proud to make a quality knife like that on the first try.
