Nice work with minimal equipment! I like the video too, I learn something every time I watch another maker and this time was no exception. Thanks!

No problem with where it is posted as far as I see. If you want it closed, you can do it by checking the box at the bottom left of the page.


The knife is very well made, and your techniques are excellent. The vide is also excellent.

My main critique would be that the handle is too fat. It should be about 3/4 of that thickness.
Also, the blade edge has a bit more curve to it than needed. ( but that is a minor issue)

When posting a knife you make, it is good to give the specs:
Blade material
Handle materials
Blade length/width/thickness
Other pertinent info like HT or special notes
