well... i made my first knife, and i must say it was very fun.
it all started when i was helping mr. wilson (shop teacher) after school, and i saw a huge broken bandsaw blade. i ended up waiting until he told me to throw it away, then i took it outside and i quickly and carefully stuffed it into my bag, unsure of what i would do with it later
when i got home with it, i took it outside and cut a 7" piece off with my dremel tool. from there i did what i always do with my dremel tool and remooved myself from the modern world. i ended up with something that looked like a semi polished prison shank (when my mom saw it, she immediately asked me if i took ot to school)
i finished it last saturday, im not sure what kind of knife to call it. th blade is as thin as a fillet knife, it looks like a cord wraped steak knife, its a pretty good thrower and it looks kind of like an oriental knife.
over all i am prety pleased with it, it is stronger than i thought it would be, and it has a pretty sharp edge on it and its pretty concealable. i think im hooked on knife making
i will try to post a pic or two tomorow.
after i make a bunch more to throw around and perhaps sell to a couple of my friends i want to make a tanto, so i will need some good thick carbon steel. do any of you know where i can get a sheet and what kind i should get?
