Title: made a personal carry knife
Post by: Bodork on October 08, 2011, 10:51:00 AM
I wanted my own personal carry knife and this is what I came up with. The blade is 2-1/2" long and the overall length is 6". Blade is made form 1080 carbon steel. The scales are walnut burl. Brass liners with a cross file work in the tang. The brass bolsters have a mosaic design between the pins.
I think it will be a handy knife although there are already some things I want to change.
Thanks for looking! Mike

That's the idea! Every knife is practice for the next one.
