Just showing some of my knives I made

[ibosserman]

This knife is made from a hand file. I used oak for the handle and some copper and brass. Just thought I would show it off. Tell me what you think.I made it about a year ago. Had to clean it up a bit so you could see the details. I used another file to shape the blade edge. a bench grinder to cut it down to fit the handle.

nice. great primitive look, and quite artistic.

i notice your blade has a random hole in the blade.

my second latest blade has a hole in about the same place, and here i was worrying about playing it off.

Nice work. I like it.

I'm liking the look, as well, I'm a big fan in using what I got to do what I want.
Vey nice.

Thanks guys I try to make them the best I can with what is available to me at the time.

I like it , kinda got a mountain man kinda look to it.

might use that extra hole for a thong-loop for bracing when doing some serious cutting. I really like that knife. Good Job!!

[crashdive123]

You had to go and mention thong didn't you?

[Ted]

Looks nice, did you get it heat treated? does it hold an edge?:tongue_smilie:

[ibosserman]

the edge still needs a little work. No its not heat treated. I was afraid I would take the temper out of the steel if I heated it up to much.
