well my first knife and sheath are done. the knife i finished is the one i made out of the old lawnmower blade and all i have to say is it may be ugly but it is super tough and strong and it holds an edge well. the sheath fits good but i have to work some kinks out. The knife actually has a small recurve to it and the buldge gets stuck on the narrow part of the sheath. I am gonig to try to loosen it up tonight. The kydex i have i think is the .9 and it might be to thick for it to flex on that part. Also the dimple i use to hold the tang in place doesnt flex as much I think next time i will get the thinner material.
Thanks for all you help. Right now i am working on a simple knife made out of fresh stock. I have it cut out, the blade ground. and polished with 240 grit and am going to have it heat treated tommorow at a friend of mine that i found out made knives and has a oven. I am not sure on the handle yet(first one was paracord) i really like the cord but i think i should but wood on this one. I dont know how to post pics but when i can i will post some.
thanks again for all your help guys. I look forward to making more knives and sharing them with yall.
