Apologies to all you real knifemaker for displaying my first effort with all its wart and imperfections. but it was fun!
Made from a piece of old file by stock reduction. Grinding and filing, then polishing by hand. Started Small on purpose, just to see if I could do it.
Thanks to HSO for telling me to stop early on and grind some wood to get the "feel" of it. After 2 dozen wooden knive I resumed grinding the knife and it was easier.
Why the paracord? Cause I can not master peening and ruined two pairs of great looking scales. Waiting for corby bolts to be delivered.
3 1/4 overall, 1 3/8 blade. I made a small sheath that clips to a belt loop.
Handy little knife, for small chores.
It slices paper, makes great curls and batons small stuff.
