Kylerprochaska - note I'm no expert, but it is one of those things I always wanted to try.  This is the second knife I have made - the first one is much bigger and I made all of it when a friend of mine (a blacksmith) did a one-day blade-making course for just me.  A great guy!

It is pretty much like everything else on this site - if you can get the raw ingredients, it is really just a matter of a little time, a lot of sweat, and a bit of trying, and there is so much inspiration on this site that I find it hard not to make things like I see here.

Keep up the inspiration everyone !!!  ;D ;D ;D

That's quite lovely Bob - you've inspired me to have a go, as I 've never made a knife.  Doubt if I could achieve anything like this though!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the kind comments.  Woodslore, I'm afraid that I did not make the blade myself.  It was bought years ago from a UK archery supplier, and is a scian dubh blade as correctly identified by Commadore earlier on in this thread.  I wish I could say that I had made it, because I would then be justly proud of those skills ;D
