Well it seems everyone is having a crack at making some type of blade latterly so thought I would have a crack at making a knife. A few days of cutting, sharpening and polishing with sore fingers and a lot of swearing here it is.

A mate gave me a 4mm stainless blank and off I went. Drew out a pattern some where between a small drop point camp knife but wanted to use it for skinning as well so this is what come out in the end. Only had a grinder, drill, sharpening stone and some sandpaper. You can probably tell from the quality of the finish but if ya got any of this gear at home that's all I used.

Will have to make a sheath now ?

4MM Stainless
total length 205mm
wood bit of conkerberry.

For a first she's a roughie.

Top job mate especially for a first attempt..

nothin' wrong with that effort Mate, looks the goods.

Nice bit of wood in the scales. Well done

It looks alright for your first.

Looks like a handy tool Wayno, and that Conkerberry sure is purdy..... slot better than my first effort mate.

Cheers.... Rod

Looks nice Wayno, I have been eyeing off the Conkerberry for knife scales too. Steve

she may be a roughy but she looks like she will do the job.
