Hi Folks

Have been bored as heck today so I went out into my little shop and made a little knife

Nothing fancy just a little kit knife

What do you think?

Looks good. I'm not a metal worker at all so that really impresses me. I could make you one out of some exotic wood, but something makes me think yours would win.

Your style is that of Tabor custom knives. Very impressive and seeing your leather work, again very impressive.

Hi All

Hamza to answer your question yes I do custom work within reason.

Tactical Tom I would let this one go for $40 + 10 for shipping with a simple leather sheath.

Later

You do good looking work. Just checked your site out. If I got bored and tried to make a decent knife I would have to be bored until spring.

I very much agree with Ole WV, very impressive piece of work kid. Reasonable prices too, in my book.

Nice work Kid. Would it be asking you to give up trade secrets for the type of metal and how you put the edge on it? I've always wanted to make something like that but haven't explored the "how to". I would think stainless would be a lot harder to work than carbon. I'm with Survivalhike. I can make stuff out of wood but I'd have to thump you with it, not cut you.

No worries :)

It is made from an old retired sawmill blade about 5/32" thick

High carbon steel with a flat ground blade

Take care
