started this a few weeks ago. it is a gift for my stepfathers birthday. what do you guys think? i didnt do as well as i would have liked to in some respects but i think he will like it and will be a very functional knife. also, i'd like to thank mr vic and dorris for sending me some antler for this project even though i didnt use all of what they sent...someday though. already have my next blade and material on order from dark timber, this is real fun!

Looks good, I was just looking into making my first knife as well. I am just not sure what style of blade I am going to make.
That's nice! I know he'll appreciate it. And the next one needs to be for you.

It looks good from what I can see. Can you make the picture a little larger? I like that blade.
I made these over the past week or so.

I did not make the blades. I got them from an excellent knapper down in Missouri. I'm going to try my hand at making a couple of steel blade knives when the materials I ordered arrive.
