I love the detail you guys have in making knives. everything that is created is just that little something to entice but way beyond the mass produced items.

Love your work Kim

Hi Kimall,

looks great, adds to the personal touch of a maker. Always nerve racking getting the symetry right at the end of the job.

Regards, Swami

Very impressive Kim!!! Looks a very functional blade design.

How about some info...what steel, length overall / blade?

I put file work on most of the knives I make because it is a way of making something sort of arty but still funtional.I like to leave the forge marks on the blade because you just cant buy a knife like that from your local gun shop. :wink: I am getting a new hand made hammer in a few weeks so expect some more hand forged knives and hawks.
