This was my first attempt at making a knife.  I made the blade from an old table saw blade and the handle was from a deer antler that I found last spring.  I also made the sheath which was the first time to try that too.

Beauty of a knife AL. I wouldn't be able to tell that it's your first by anymeans.

Believe it or not the "HARDWAY" is often the EASIER way(in hindsight)!

Outstanding job   :clapper:    Knife and sheath both look great-welcome to the addiction.

Very nice job. Could you show pic.s of your forge?
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. TGMM ♥

What was big was not the antlers, but the chance. What was full was not the meatpole but the memory of the hunt.    --Aldo Leopold

Sure feels good to have the first one under your belt. Congrats. Its an addiction now.  My wife jokingly calls it "the other woman".
