Title: Beginner knife
Post by: bendbig on January 12, 2011, 09:19:00 AM

Knife is made from A-2 hardened to 58 rockwell copied from a pic I saw in TBM awhile back. Not in the same league as most of the folks on this forum but it's fun.

Not a bad start.  Looks like a roachbelly design.

Handle is walnut cut from the family farm and aged about 35 years.

Good job.
A good deal of knife making has to do with having fun.

Very cool!  Looks to be comfortable in the hand and very useful design too.

Nice Job!
