Homemade Knife Bushcraft/Hunting Hybrid
on: August 01, 2014, 06:02:58 PM
I might as well chime in on my never ending project. Its my first homemade knife.

I started it around February and due to work and ongoing diy jobs around the house I get very little time to finish this beauty off so here's my progress so far, I'm still undecided about handle either I go for a nice wood or micarta. iv plenty of 40 plus yr old mahogany hanging around doing nothing so it might be a consideration.

Sorry about the links iv no idea how to embed photos from flickr

Agreed. They have been changing it around way too much lately.

Thank you, not bad for hand grinding with a file my hands nearly fell of though  :ahhh I figured since its a 6mm (1/4") blade I gave it a 20 deg grind.
