First Knife

[Bryant Hollinger]

I just finished my first knife.
Made a simple forge out of scrap medal and fire brick with a blower hooked up to the back. I think that I got the heat treatment and temper right. Learned alot with this first one. Hope there will be many more in the future.    
   
Made the knife blade out of an old file
Zebrawood on the handle

 

 

 

I can already tell that this knife building is addictive.

Sorry if the pic size is not right, having one heckofa time trying to figure out photobucket.

Looks like the pic size is fine. Was much larger on the preview

Congratulations...and you have my condolences. You've just enter a realm from which there is no return.  You're a knife maker!  ;~)

Nice work Bryant.  Knife looks great and the scabbard too.  You're on your way.

I bet the next one was spinning around in your head before the forge got cold.  ;~)
