i have decided to have a go at knife making to this year, this is my first attempt from start to finish, i no its not like what the other makers make on here, please be gentle, i have a long way to go, i made this from a peice of 01 tool steel, i ground this free hand on a little 1 by 30 grinder, that me brother owns, it has stainless pins and stainless tube, im not sure on the wood its all i had, now a lot of you no that im known for the stipling i do on me leather work, so i have incorporated this onto this knife, it also had a lot of pitting the steel, and there was a skull type bit on the blade so i added a couple of eyes into that, thought it would look a little different, i polished the blade and added a patina into it, to give it a little contrast, i also heat treated this my self, which im over the moon with no chips no rolling, and i gave it a good hammering.
any way hope you guys like it.
