First knife
I made this knife from an old cheap saw blade. I left the swirls the blade earned from cutting through the material it cut through over its life. It had become an Alabama blade. As it was missing most of its teeth.
Anyway, this is my first try other than the sawzall blade.

Updating website! Stop by and tell me what you think!
i always liked the swirls and lines left from the sanding stick when i use the 800-1500 grit. it's like character.

nice job, I dig the para cord wrap too.
Excellent first knife. Gives you a good feeeling to know you can make the one basic tool of all survival needs.
Unless you are a back packer from the west coast, then it would be a flashlight.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
AWESOME job!!! That is a really sweet knife, and I would never have guessed it was your first!
Hmmmm...
Now that's what I call "progressive recycling!" I agree with everyone else & I also like the para-cord wrap!I made this knife from an old cheap saw blade.
