conall Tenderfoot Aug 25, 2009 89 1 southampton Dec 27, 2009 #4 Well done Penvisser, looks good. Would like to have a go at making my own knife one day.
penvisser Settler Aug 15, 2006 549 2 53 Meteren, The Netherlands www.nukknives.nl Dec 27, 2009 #5 thank you all. As said, it is my first forged blade, made some mistakes but the next one will be better. The grind is a bit low, I will try another one this week with a higher grind. Thanks for looking. atb, Jan
