C-1ToolSteel Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Howdy folks! Been a while since I’ve posted anything, but thought I’d share my most recent knife. I don’t really consider myself a knife-maker... I would need a lot more experience and equipment to crank them out and make money, but I met a new friend who was so sold on the idea of me making him a custom blade, I gave in. He came over to talk about what he wanted, and I sketched out a design that he liked. He chose a forged (1080) blade, ironwood (good choice!) for the handle, vine-like filework on the handle spine, and a leather cross-draw sheath (a first for me). I’m pleased with how everything came out and I hope is will be too. Positive or negative input is always appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzkill Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Looks like a handsome, well made knife and sheath combo to me. Congrats on a job well done. I'm sure your friend will be pleased with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the palm swell makes for a very comfortable handle! I’m a little surprised I don’t see all that many knives being made with that general handle shape.
