Might as well make this my first post: I made my first knife 3 years ago (thats also when I started lurking here )
Made from RWL 34, all hand tools, read files and lots of sandpaper.

Since then, I have made a few more, they can be seen in my album, in chronological order:

My First

Stainless blade, Cultured marble scales, Applied decoration, Oiled American walnut stand.

Oh, ok. Here's my first.

There was no grind other than the edge. It was just a piece of saw blade steel and some bacote.

Here's one of my latest(non-damascus).

This is more like it. Multi-edge quenched 1084 with maple burl and home-made mosaic pin.

Almost all of mine are here...

My Handmade Knives

The knife #1 was my first knife, the Nessmuk is my latest. I started making knives about 9 or 10 months ago. Mostly hand tools, files, sandpaper, patience.

 

[J. Neilson]

Damn Bob! I'd be tickled with either of those. Glad to see you back, look forward to dinner and B.S.ing again soon.

 

[southriv]

Good to "see" you guys again.....as soon the as business and family crapola goes away , I may be able to make a knife or two.

Right now, I'm getting ready to leave for Ashokan. My most important deadline of the year is due today, so I think its appropriate that I bug out of here. Looking foward to seeing Rene & Jim........and hope to do or at least go to Marlboro in November....

J. - pick out a place & I'll bring the B.S.

Take care all, Bob

Here's mine. I built it for my wife, and is based on a medieval knife (not the bolsters, though, which I added to the original design).

The bolsters are nickel silver, the scales snakewood and the blade is forged from C70 (analogous to 1075, with differential heat treat (torch-tempering of the spine)

still lovin' it!

 

[L6steel]

Ok, you guys asked for it, lmao!
I made this one as a joke just to get some laughs from my friend that owns a pawn shop I visit alot. It's more like the bar in Cheers to me. I go there and spend time standin around bsin with the owner and customers and such. I was floored when the guy bought the thing!
Nowadays I wish he'd sell it back to me, lol!
The blade came from an old butcher knife and the liners are 1/8" aluminum. The scales are 3/4" walnut and the bolsters are 3/8" aluminum. The thing is about 10" closed and 17 or 18" open.
I still get a kick out of it when I visit the pawn shop and look at it!
