First off I just have to say that Tippit is one heck of a guy. He made a gorgeous blade that he put a paracord handle on and sent to me to give to my brother for christmas through the trad gang santa, and he asked for absolutely nothing in return. Just an amazing act of kindness, and the blade was absolutely beautiful.
He also served as a little motivation for my dad to try his hand at making knives after seeing jeff's work, he's now made 4 or 5 i believe. My brother and I decided to jump into the fire as well and this is what came out of it from my end. There are plenty of things wrong with it, but for my first, I was pretty happy. Blade came from an old miter saw blade, and modeled after a buck drop point my dad had. Handle is laminated Oak and Pine (what we had in the garage)
BTW, these things arent easy to photograph
