Here is a knife I built with the help of Rick Menefee.
ATS 34, 6 1/2" oal, 2 1/2" blade and giraffe bone scales.
I sure appreciate Ricks help,the only bad part is he makes things look to easy.




Sorry for the bad pics

Looks great. I like it. Very nice job.

You need a better teacher though

Nice JW !

Very nice sir.

Reno

Very nice! Good job!

Looks great, keep at it.

Great work. Ole Rick might know a thing or two...

JW brought his knife by for a sheath today and its indeed a really nice first knife, something to be proud of. Larry.

That is a very nice looking knife!

good looking blade for a first try

I love the giraffe bone

Damn, I was going to post my first attempt at knife making. But not anymore! Beautiful knife. Love those scales.

Thanks Rick for all the help you give to fellow makers & new makers

That is a helluva first effort!!

I sure wish Rick was closer, be really nice to learn from a master.

It truly is. Rick keeps telling me that he knows what he's doing. I'm almost starting to believe him........

Thanks everyone. And thanks again to Rick.

nice job jw, it turned out real nice

Not that I'm thinking Rick is going to stop making knives any time soon...but...it's a great thing to leave a legacy of awesome knives, but leaving a legacy of makers is a true accomplishment.

Beauty!
