GabrielDunn Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Is it me or is "3rd Knife" a bit misleading a title for this? You're clearly not a beginner but saying 3rd knife suggests you are. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal99 Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Gabriel, I completed my first knife on march 22nd 2012. I'm new to knife making but a lot of the skill my dad tought me from building guitars really helped me in knife making. Thanks for the compliments everyone.
