Post by: M.TEX on June 11, 2008, 10:24:50 PM
 OK sorry for the bad picture...I do not have a good camera and no tripod...

 This is the knife I made from scratch . Foged from 1095 and orange G10  ss Pins

 The hole project fail....many mistakes but well It's my first time... Need to practice A LOT MORE !

  YES that's the " Hammon " was very fun the way I did....too bad I couldn't see the knife tip because the
  smoke and there is a mistake there....the temper line is a little too low near the tip....but well it's my first.
  and the handle has also some mistakes on my grinding ( eat too much micarta at the corners near ricasso )
  the blade has a small bent because of a mistake after heat treat ...and orther stuff that I could go on here
  for a week to explain how I suck....Maybe one day I will be able to sell some knives...and be called
  knifemaker....

  Thanks for the nice coments !

Top job  :salute:

I'm fond of a bit of orange G10.  That looks like a really nice knife.
