Default Another knife build, number 5 for me

I've piddled with this one on and off for awhile. Still nowhere near perfect but im having fun and learning something new with each one i make. I come up with different ideas and a better approach for the next one as I learn more. Its a great stress reliever also.


01 tool steel and the wood is African Cocobolo.

X2 Love the riveting and the thumb-rest. It's the little things that make or break a project.

I have no idea what you're talking about...


LOL, I'm a horrible speller myself, so I have "spell check" running in the background all the time. It automatically highlights any word I've misspelled, so I just correct anything misspelled as a matter of course. You're the first person to ever comment about it, but truth is I've been doing it on everyone's quotes for as long as I've been here.
