I've been thinking about trying my hand at knife making for a while now, but the heat treating was scaring me off. After a ton of reading and researching I finally bit the bullet and got started.
It's made out of 1084 steel and has maple scales. It's not perfect but I think it turned out pretty good for my first try. It was also my first try at sheath making, It's a little rough but is functional.
^ This is just a stock pic from the place I got the steel from, Not the same piece but it looked pretty much identical
After using a hack saw, files, and bench grinder to get it into shape
Blade partially filed/sharpened, and pin holes drilled. Ready for heat treating.
For some reason I didn't take any more pictures until I was done. I thought I had a couple more but either I deleted them or I didn't take them to begin with.
Finished Product.
