NOS Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Well, I finally finished something! This knife started life as an old Nicholson file that my Grandpa had left in an old toolbox in the attic. I wanted to put it back into use, but it was far to worn and rusted for that...what to do... So here she is in all of her "glory". I started out trying to do a tribal with only a file, a forge, and hammer. At the end however, I decided to use the 1" belt sander for the final "touch-ups" on the blade. It isn't the best, but it is my first. I've got nowhere to go but up. Let me know what you think. I know it's kinda ugly, but I didn't try to make it too pretty (those are the ones that are easy to mess up! )First knife (tribal) - Blacksmith Photo Gallery Thanks for your input in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 There's nothing wrong with that. I like the style. My knives are pretty much the same style. Of course, that makes my opinion a bit biased.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech413 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I'm no expert, but I'd say thats not bad for a first attempt. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg C. Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Wish my first knife was that good. All I did was stick a sharpened file on a stick....:/ Cn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
