1st takedown attempt
« on: November 08, 2014, 06:11:00 PM »
This is the first take down I tried to make and I finished it this morning.  I forged this blade with Shane at the Ohio ABS hammer in.  I learned a great deal that weekend and also learned a great deal getting this knife together.  The finished product has many flaws but also many lessons were learned. Its a 1095 blade, 416 guard and cocobolo handle.

Very, very cool.
