I have to agree with others, that this probably wont be the last knife you ever make.
I have only 'part made' one knife, by re shaping a long blade into a shorter blade and full tang, and then making the handle from scratch (including felling the oak tree the wood came from). I really want to make another as soon as I can!
I have always wanted to make a parang from a leaf suspension spring, but don't have a forge or anything like that. It is just something I would love to make and own, even though I would have no use for one.........Apart from looking at it and cherishing it forever.
