Hello all:
I've posted in threads in this Customer and Handmade Knives Forum, but have never started a thread until now. I've done a lot of lurking here though. I spend most of my time in the Knifemakers Shop threads, since I'm a maker. I just wanted to introduce myself to all of you that frequent this area of Bladeforums. My name is Scott Ickes and I live in Vancouver, WA. I've been making knives off and on for about 19 years now. In the past three years or so, I've gotten a lot more serious about it though. I have a table at the OKCA show in Eugene, Oregon in April. This will be my first show.
I thought I'd post a little hunting knife that I made for that show. Enjoy!
Comments, both good and bad will be appreciated. Thanks for looking!!
