everybody else was doing it! 1st knife

[slow mind]

Well thanks to you guys and gals I had to make a knife. It's my first try and it ain't perfect but I learned alot in the process, (don't oil quench in the basement...whoops) not to mention thoroughly enjoyed it.
O1, brass liners, steel pins and swirly bone colored Corian scales.
I also aint no photo grapher so sorry for the cruddy pics.

Also made some home donuts today but thats another thread.

Sweet looking blade. You look to have a future in knife making.

I'm getting ready to start my first...hope mine comes out as nice as yours!

I'm very impressed how tough were the brass liners? I really like the look of them and would like to give it a try. Again, great job

 

[iscromain]

looks really great. My wife would kill me if I started forging and quenching in the basement.

 

[Ironwood]

Pretty cool. I like the handle material and the brass is a nice touch for first knife.
Bet ya can't make just one.:4::18:

 

[slow mind]

Wow thanks everybody. No the brass was no harder than the rest of the work, but when it's that fun you can't really call it hard work. Ohhhh so true that I can't make just one.... round 2 in progress , lots of hand filing and a true full scandi.
anyone interested in a pass around of one? would be neat and helpful to get feedback so I know I'm doing something useful.

 

[maldon007]

Are you effing kidding me? Your first knife? I'm on like number 15 and have not made one that nice yet, even when trying... Awesome.

[hellhammer]

Awesome job on the handle and blade profile! A nice sheath and you got a classic.

It's my first try and it ain't perfect but I learned alot in the process, (don't oil quench in the basement...whoops)
