This is my first knife from scratch.

Started out as a piece of 01 stock

Micarta is quite tough stuff, i find it easier to work than wood if using power tools because you don't take material awat as quickly but if using hand tools for shaping then it's hard going.
I had intended to take a lot more of the scales and make them quite thin but i stopped at this stage because it feels right and i want to use this one a fair bit , maybe as my work knife for a while.

Blimey Lawrence thats a cracker. I'd be chuffed to bits if I'd made that!

Now you just need to find someone to make you a sheath :)
