This is my first ever attempt at making a knife. It is made of B16 material. It was scrap we had at work. Handle is oak. The next will be greatly improved.
I agree. The next knife came out much better.Not too bad! Excellent first try.
If I can make a recommendation, you might find your proportions in design improve if you model your knife design in cardboard first. Gives you a chance to see how the design fits in hand without requiring any grinding.
Very nice work. How did you do your pins? Do you brad them, or maybe even use epoxy? I use old hacksaw blades and make chintzy little mini knives, just for fun. I epoxy brass grounding wire and sand them down.I agree. The next knife came out much better.
The pins are a little to close to the edges of the scales though.
