Recently I have been bitten by the knife building bug after speaking to some brothers at the JLMBH. I figured that I may as well give it a try. After a donation of some steel from IAMSKIPPY and some modest tool collecting this is one of 5 that I made.Progress is being made and lessons are being learned with each one. I have a lot of work to do, butneeded to start somewhere. Glen

Nice start!

Excellent!  Love the sheath too!
