Hello,
I just recently finished my first knife, and wanted to post a thank you to the forum for all of the information available here that enabled me to actually produce it.
I would post a pic, but I don't have an image sharing site and can not attach a file(I would also like to get a better picture that the ones I currently have.)
It is a small sickle shaped blade, made from an old saw blade. red oak handles and brass pins. I'm pretty proud of it for a first attempt, though I know there is so much I could do to improve it. It was also made with a pretty minimal set up, so for anybody who thinks they don't have enough tools, there is hope. The blade was cut out using an angle grinder, and a 1.25hp craftsmen belt sander. that, a drill press, and a dremel were the only power tools used.
I'm going to look at image hosting so I can link the pic I have oif it for critiques.
but thank you for giving me the confidence to attempt it.

. Hopefully, it will be just the first of many to come.
