2703adam Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hello everyone, this is my first post on here. I have only been making knives for a few months now and I have to say that this site helps a lot. I read the posts all the time but have never posted. Anyways, here are my first two knives. The folder is one that I copied from a guy I saw on line, it is supposed to be a primitive friction folder minus the screw I had to use as the pivot pin. The handle is deer antler and it is now polished to a gloss finish. The second knife is one I made for a friend of mine who went to Afghanistan. The scales are cumaroo a.k.a Brazilian teak. the pins are .40 cal casings. I am currently working on my third knife that will have home made micarta scales and some mosaic pins that I made.
