finished my first knife
« on: February 07, 2008, 05:56:00 PM »
I finished my first knife Sunday and finished the sheath yesterday. I couldn't pe prouder! It's made from an old 12" saw blade. I sketched it out and then drew it on the saw blade. I cut it out with a dremal tool,then I clamped it down and hand filed the bevalls. I then sanded it smooth with a sanding disk on my drill. I bufed it with apollishing wheel on the drill. It has wallnut scales. If someone would post pics of it I would try to send them.

Great job - especially for a first attempt. ( pics are too large though, need to be downsized to max. 600 wide or they'll have to delete them - sorry, please don't shoot the messenger   :) )

John, the knife looks great and am sure your father in law will appreciate it.  Sorry to hear about the cancer.  Prayers are sent from Missouri.

Nice blad and sheath! Some of my most cherished possesions are things my dad made.  I'm sure your father in-law will appreciate it! I'm going to be working on that file nife 2-morrow hopefully.

take care
