Hello all,
I'm quite new to these parts, though I've lurked for a spell. I decided why lurk when I can support B/F with a knifemaker membership. I've been making knives for a year or two on a hobbyist basis; when time off of work permits and I am not hunting/fishing/canoeing and such. I do stock-removal, as this is the method that my space and equipment allow me at this time.
I have joined as a knifemaker, but am and always will be humbled by the sheer talent of the makers here. I suspect this crowd will do very well to dole out criticism when required.
With all that said, I'd like to share a photo or two of one of my more recent knives that I made for a local fellow that is a whitetail hunter.
Specs:
1075 steel @1/8" thickness
OAL 8.75"; blade: 3.625" tip to choil; full-height grind with convexed secondary.
scales are OD canvas micarta with stainless pins.
Sheath is veg.-tanned leather.
Thanks for looking,
Ben
