Second one
« on: May 03, 2011, 06:58:00 PM »
So here is my second attempt at knife making. I forged this under Lin's supervision out of 1084. Then filed it till it was ready to heat treat. Got back with Lin for the heat treat. Dressed in it stainless, brass and buckeye burl.

Thanks for the complements guys.
dakota tim, Lin is the biggest influence I have in knife making so thats a huge complement. However proud of it I am I have a long way to go to get to the level where mine are as good as Lin's.
