Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Tried my hand at knife making.

I'm planning on fully retiring later this year after working two days a week for the last five years. I guess my wife thought I needed another hobby and she enrolled me in a beginner knife making class at the local Vo-Tech. I went to the first class and seen it was nothing but putting a handle on a blade they furnished and I did not go back after the 1st night.

It did get my interest though and I watched some Youtube videos and made these in my shop. The bottom is my version of a bird and trout, the middle a small hunter and the top a large hunter. Maybe I should of stayed in the class because putting on the scales has been my biggest problem.
