Post by: DANA HOLMAN on August 08, 2009, 10:26:00 PM

Well guys, even though i'm only been doing this for about 10 months, i had a young neighbor very interested in knifes, so one day i asked him if he would like to make one, and here is his knife.
his name is Daniel Richeson

this is 01 steel about 6 inches oal, he made the sheath and the knife, with very little help.

Lin showed us the knifes of the two young men that he helped, so i thought i would pass it on, i hope you enjoy the pictures, because i know this young man sure did enjoy making it
thanks dana

Daniel
we still need to seal the leather, so it should darken it up ever more, do you have your next knife drawn out?
