A young knifemaker's work
« on: March 10, 2009, 08:41:00 PM »
I want to post a photo of a knife that my nephew made. For a few weeks he's been hanging around my shop and picking up a few pointers from me. His name is Jacob Rhea and goes by "jake the snake" ,or something like that (these kids nowadays  :rolleyes:  ), here on the forum. I helped him with a few critical stages, but he made this knife and done a good job.

   

Wyatt(my stepson)and him are both 14 and doing real good at learning this stuff. He may be along a little later to post. Lin

He's got a good teacher!
Lin, I've been known as "Jake" to almost everybody since I was 7 or 8.
And still, people call me "Jake the Snake".
Your nephew and I would probably get along!
But, only if he likes girls.

Well, he is learning from one of the best.  
That is a fine looking knife, he should be proud of it.

Hi Lin,  I can see your influence ther in the knife.  That influence goes further than that though,  you never know what effect this can have on how his life will turn out,  I applaude you in taking the time for a young person nowdays.  I think this is great and thank you for the post,  just wish my kids thought I had something to teach them in my shop, oh well maybe one day I hope.

Talk to you later,  Brad Singley
