For a first you have done very well,did you make your own sheath as well ??

Hello Tinbasher,

the sheet was also made by me. I'm a little unsatisfied with it, but the next will be better. I hope so ...

Excellent job, Fred! :thumbup:
I like that blade a lot and the sheath isn`t worse either!

BTW don`t you think it`s a bit unfair showing such a "first"!?

Guess I`ll NEVER ever start with MY 1st, now!!!

Thanks Wolfgang

Don't worry, it has been a kind of beginner's luck.
But now, I also haven't the heart to start with the next

Wow, that's one fine looking knife! Craftsmanship, style and utility–great work. I'd be pretty darn proud if my first knife project was to come out so well.
