September 10, 20178 yr This is my first knife bushcraft type I built it for my son 01 tool steel stainless pins and red micarta very happy with it for my first attempt
September 10, 20178 yr Very cool, I like it. Nice work. Can we get some dimensions? And was it stock removal or forged? (We like details lol) The overall blade shape is well executed, the handle shape looks comfortable, the bevels appear nice and straight (picture makes it a little hard to tell) and the polish looks good. I know you didn't ask for critique, but here's mine: The only thing I see is the closest pin to the blade. It looks way too close to the edge of the micarta. If it sees heavy use, that is an awful thin area right there. I see the symmetry you were going for between all the pins and the lanyard hole though.
September 10, 20178 yr Great job. That's a nice knife, first attempt or not! My eye was also drawn to that front pin. Looks very close to the front of the scales. Although its a little hard to see, that spotlight is shining right on that part of the knife. Good work!

Hi thanks for your reply I see what you are looking at it is a bit close but the handle tapers a bit towards the blade which you can't see that well in the picture anyway it is too close but it is my first one and my next one will not be that close thanks .I only have this one picture and I never took any measurements of it so the next time my son comes down I will take some better pictures and some dimensions .it was stock removal but I have got some Bar stock 01 steel that I was going to forge I have got a tire hammer I will have a go at forging one
