My first handmade knife

[mick91]

Thought I would upload some pics of my first attempt at knife making. Full tang Skinner style clip point with false edge. Scale is mahogany in teak oiled finish. Flat ground with a secondary bevel and been honed to shave sharp. A little light tiger stiping on the blade. Opinions?

Only thought to take pictures from the semi finished to finished stage im afraid. But tell me what you think

Thanks very much mate. Making a few and was thinking of sending them around for people to test out never know see if I can sell a couple. If not it's killed a day or 2 in the shed and kept me quiet lol

That's a bonny & handy looking wee blade Mick. Be especially good for someone with smaller hands.
Cracking job.

Sent via smoke-signal from a woodland in Scotland.

Cheers GB. Was aimed more at smaller hands I've got fairly sizable paws so all my handles are chunky

Cheers man. Wasn't too frustrating barring the 16000 tiny cuts on my hands lol.

SWMBO seems to like this knife so seems it does lend itself to smaller mitts like GB said. Not sure if I'm a fan of the etching though personally next one will just be getting buffed
