I decided last year to try my hand at making knives. I have be reluctant to post any pics because the quality of craftsmanship posted by many of you on this forum is unreal. I realized I'll never get any better without the valuable insight many on this board can give me. So here are some of my "cutting instruments". Any advice would be much appreciated.
The first is made from an old cross-cut saw blade with whitetail antler handle. Second one is a file that belonged to my grandfather, I also used two silver half-dollars from his collection, handle is blackwalnut. This knife was given to my aunt for Christmas. The next two are made from 1095. The last is also part of the old saw blade. It's definitely additive and frustrating all at the same time.
