My First Knife

  Yes... Knife making.

Oh I have found a new love... correction, another new love.

Knife making was something new and fresh.

I was introduced to this wonderful pastime. It was a great kit and a super way to be introduced to this world. This staring point was a great entry point as it focused on making the scales (handles) and assembly. It did not test my skill and patients because I did not need to forge, heat treat, grind or worry about some of the more intricate details of a true knife build... yet.

Because something completely new is not a big enough challenge, I had to step it up and add contracting walnut spacers next to the blade. Not part of the "kit" but I love the look.

This was the start of some thing wonderful.
