It's Finally Done, My First Knife

[Chambers]

Well after litterally over a year in the making my first knife is done.

Overall I'm happy with it, granted it'll have some imperfections but I think it will be very useable. Ive just given its first oil over with Danish Oil.

Its 3mm (or maybe 4, I cant remeber) 01 steel forged in the fires of Brockwell. Simple filework on the spine. Handmade 8mm brass pins with brass copper and alu infill tubes. Birch and unknown handle with a red liner

Let me know what you guys think. I'm thinking about putting it up for swap? Hmm

Looking good mate. have you made a sheath yet.

 

[Chambers]

No sheath yet, havent really tried with any leatherwork. I think thats a long way down the line

 

[andyc54]

well done mate like the rustic look so you can still tell its forged and not polished to death,it'll be all the more special to you cause you made it,now enjoy using

 

[Chambers]

Oh I'm going to save the enjoyment for the next one I think. Fancy making a knife a bit smaller so going to give that a go. If theres any interest this one will go for swap
