Title: My 1st!
Post by: nlester on December 12, 2013, 09:09:00 PM

Well I was inspired by all the awesome knives that are posted on here.  I've made some selfbows, but never a knife, so I thought I'd give it a try.  It was an average attempt, but I learned quite a bit from this project.  The best thing about this knife is all I have in it is time.  I already had the deer horn, I used stainless steel rod for the pins that I found laying around the shop, and the blade is from an old concrete saw blade someone gave to me.  I look forward to making another one soon!

I'll quote a great Canadian knife maker I once knew since the way he put it fits my opinion perfectly:
