A while back I posted some pictures of my first meager attempt at knife building. Shortly after finishing that one I got busy and cut out 6-more blades of various shapes. Then they sat while life got in the way of finishing them.
I finally got back to them and managed to finish two of them. Another broke when I tried to straighten it after heat treat - oops. Anyway, here are some pictures of knives #2 and #3. Thanks for looking.
#2 - this one went to my dad. Blade is O1, handle is Lacewood with brass pins and lanyard tube. Pin stock came from a broken cleaning rod from on old gun cleaning kit.
#3 - still have this one. Blade is O1, handle is green micarta (courtesy of a real knife maker I met recently) with brass pins and lanyard tube. Pin stock is from a brass brazing rod.
