One of my hobbies...knife making
Hi all I'm new to this sight, I was surfing the net came across this forum. I love all things out doors so I thought I would sign up, I have been reading several interesting posts. Any way I thought I would share my hobby with you guys, I make a few knives in my shed nothing big time just weekend play, any way I made the following this weekend and thought I would share. I cut, shape, grind, sand, all blades by hand, I do all the heat treat of hi carbon blades in my home built forge. I do mostly stock removal but have been known to hammer out a forged knife or two. I make all kinds of knives for outdoor use, mostly hunting/camping activities.
