This isn't anything like the ones you guys make but it's a beginning.

Looks pretty good! Keep at it and remember to keep that blade taped if it is already sharpened!

Cool, my son and myself are going to try our first this weekend.
Did you make the sheath?

B.Finder, yes, I did make the sheath too and that's a whole different story.  Right now I have a blacksmith friend shaping up some 52100 bearing steal for me and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna try another one at some point.  I have a spike bull elk rack that I shot with my bow that would make for a nice handle.

My first had a piece of broomstick bolted on and wrapped with thread,then spray painted black.It looked bad!
 this is a pretty nice knife,you may find things you want to change,But be proud of this one and dont loose it-I wish I had kept my first,No matter how ugly it was.
 Good job, man
