My 2nd knife attempt ( pic heavy )

[gumuman]

This was more work than I expected fileing down 5mm of 01 steel on a 10" blade takes ages with no power tools.

Im not a big fan of large knives but this was a request from a friend and hes a big chap 😊

Next job is making my first sheath

Now that's just brilliant for a 2nd attempt, or any attempt!

Looks Nessmuck style, I like it! Although I'm not a big knife person either .

Very nice.

wow great work for second knife!

I love it. Little stocky Bolo machete, the size of a short Golok. Looks a bit like a Lofty Wiseman knife. Really like this. You make me want to try more knives. If I could get to your standard, I'd be very happy.
Well done mate.

Looks ace. Can you give me and explanation/tutorial on the filing process/jig and was it a normal file for metal or something special?

I don't want much

That's a very fine effort indeed, I'd be pleased with that for a twenty second attempt!

Wow thats fantastic, and massively impressive as a second attempt, top job!

Great looking knife and fine craftsmanship! I've a good idea how much hard work has gone into it as I use the same method for my own knives so very well done!!

Just missing a makers mark. It's easily done and gives that finishing touch!

Similar style but prefer yours with the dropped tip.
