First Knife..... A Fumble Along....

(1/3) > >>

AZStickman:
Well as if I don't have enough hobbies (addictions) I thought I'd try my hand at knife building.... I'm going to eventually be working with tool grade steel like D-2 or A-1 but thought I'd get the feel for the process and tools using "junk" bandsaw blades from work.... Here's where I am so far;

Step one I cut the blades into 7" long strips;
 

Step two I drew the outline of the blade with a silver pencil:
 

Step three I cut and rough shaped the blade with a dremel tool, final shaped with a belt sander,drilled my pin holes,and then hand sanded the blade to ready it for polishing:
 

Now I have some questions for our real knife makers out there:
Here is the wood I'd like to use for my scales. How thick should it be??
 

And secondly, I'd like to have hidden pins on this blade. How do you do that and what do you use for pin material??...... Terry

the Ferret:
Dang Terry you got more talent than...well you got a lot!

That looks great!

BigRonHuntAlot:
I agree with Mickey... Where is the Fumble at????

Jason Kendall:
I love that profile. Looking forward to completed pics!

AZStickman:
LOl... If you guys saw me actually getting from step one to step three you'd be laughing believe me....  :D  Terry
