First steel knife completed.
« on: December 31, 2013, 04:07:46 pm »
Took some excellent instruction from Khalverson and managed to build this beautiful and stout little huntin knife. I've had a lot of positive feedback from friends and family and everyone seems to want one. Guess I'm gonna have to get some more files now.

Great job.  Looks like you nailed it.  What did you use for pins.

 I found the best place to get cheap,good files is at a pawnshop. Nice job, there ain't nothing like unzipping a deer you killed with a knife that you made.

Yep, Thad, same thing I was thinking while building this.  :laugh:

You are right tallpine, I plan to get many years of use from this knife.

Thank you Cip and Ryan.
