Rojo Pedro Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Not nearly as nice as Gustav’s or Ed’s but it went well and is by far the thinest blade I have made The handle is a little short for my hand and feels kind if weird but it is wicked sharp was an old file tang I had cut off some time ago. Water quenched the cutting edge only and let the colors run. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Looks good to me. So why don't you just make a longer handle? There appears to be plenty of tang there. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rojo Pedro Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 It was some scrap and thought it would be perfect. Best laid plans and all..... might replace the handle it but will probably just give it away like I do with most of my stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnut Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 it's a lot quicker and easier with a stitching awl versus a plain leather awl. Pnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horse Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I am very much the same as you. For some reason I feel much more gratified giving things to those who appreciate it than I do selling or keeping it. I am not a knife maker but made my Career using them. Knives are very individual. The one that fits my hand may feel clumsy in yours. I never bought a knife for my profession without holding it in my hand. My father was a butcher and I have been as well. If it is sharp and holds an edge it is a great knife for someone. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Any tool that does it's job well is a joy to use. There's another thing I haven't noticed and that's how good it feels to use a tool you've made with your own hands. Frosty The Lucky.
