My new knife!
As part of my wilderness guide studies, I had a chance last weekend to try knife making basically from the scratch. I have tried forging once earlier when made my flint and steel set, but making knife was a new experience. Here is the results!

Looks great! I have never tried making a knife before. After looking at some of the posts here, I may have to give it try...
Turned out fantastic. Must still be hot from the forge.....all the snow around it melted.
Beats any knife I could do.
Looks Great!
.Nice job.
I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.
Very nice, what wood did you use for a handle?
Thanks all for your encouraging comments!
Handle is made from curly birch with piece of reindeer antler + skin and finished with varnish. Sheath is also made from reindeer skin (that color is painted ... so not made from Rudolph ...)Originally Posted by randyt
Felt that I have finally passed age of Rambo size blades, so decided made this knife with quite short blade.
curly birch is pretty wood.
