I wasn't planning on entering as i have never made a knife before, but the opportunity arose to make the missus a crook knife so i took it.
First i will note, this is the first knife i have ever made and i had 6 hours to make it while she was at work! so a little rushed but overall im chuffed with it
blade: £15
handle: free, some silver oak and cow horn iv had in me toolbox for months.
I also made a little sheath for it in a couple of hours. sheath aint great as was in a mad rush whilst she was out shopping but it does the job for now.

Hi there,
I recently joined the forum and thought I'd enter a knife I finished as a christmas present for a friend.
Karesuando C 80 blade
Brass Bolster (R35)
Scots Pine*
Salvaged plastic and aluminium spacers*
Cherry*
Brass end cap*
Enzo Trapper 95 sheath
All the bought components were from Brisa (total 25.20 euros).
This is my 3rd attempt at knifemaking and I wanted to add some colour. I used some aluminium bar that I found in the shed, along with some plastic salvaged from DVD cases for the spacers. The handle is a combination of Scots Pine and Cherry that had been felled near the house. My riveting was a bit poor so I diguised it with some brass that I also found in the shed.
Any constructive criticism welcome, I think I've been bitten by the knifemaking bug!

Hi there,
I'm keen to enter the amateur bought blade category. I made a knife as a Christmas present for a friend using some supplies from Brisa. Just waiting to be cleared to post attachments by the moderators to share my photos.

I am sorry guys but I will have to back out as I made a mess of mine and unless I get another done which is not likely due to work etc
Here is a poor shot of it and it is a failure

Gosh, if all my failiures looked that good, I'd be SUCH a happy lassie!
Can you explain what you're unhappy with about it? I'd feel brilliant about producing that
If thats the bad shot, I'd love to see the good ones!!

I'm dropping out of this. I'm not happy with the way my knife is going and I've too many other things that keep getting in the way of Knife-making.
I may give it a go another time but not just now. Looking forward to seeing the other entries,

Well I made a mess of the thinning the handle down and cut to far in on one side so teh handle is very lopsided and still has a step in it. I will salvage it but it will not be that pretty so I will give it away. It is already very slim as intended.

Bummer It can be a real pain when natural materials don't do what you hope they will. The other bits your fault, Concentrate man. lol
My entry is off the starting block, its a stick tang too as promised and it will be finished for the 7th.
