Title: First steel knife completed.
Post by: Stringman on December 31, 2013, 04:07:46 pm

Took some excellent instruction from Khalverson and managed to build this beautiful and stout little huntin knife. I've had a lot of positive feedback from friends and family and everyone seems to want one. Guess I'm gonna have to get some more files now.

 I found the best place to get cheap,good files is at a pawnshop. Nice job, there ain't nothing like unzipping a deer you killed with a knife that you made.

You are right tallpine, I plan to get many years of use from this knife.

Thank you Cip and Ryan.
