so now that its summer and I'm home from the dorms I decided to start working on my first knife. first I went to homedepot in search of a lawn mower blade because I thought it would be a good material to use. I noticed the edger blades sitting right next to the lawn mower blades and how they were flatter and closer to the size I was looking for.(also about 1/4 of the price)

I brought it home and went to work on it.

I've decided not to give it a gut hook like I had originally planned because I just don't have the right tools to do it properly (I've done pretty much everything with my dremel, burned through two cutting discs and 2 grinding bits already), besides I like the way it looks without it. I have some black walnut that I am planning on using for the handle. I'll be sure to post pics when its done, but it will probably take me a awhile to finish it. what do you guys think so far?
