Uncle of the Year!

[TXHUNT3R]

Trying to win Uncle of the year... lol

I am going to make 6 knives for my nephews and another for my son. All going to be made from old files and small like these first two.

Had a couple hours over the weekend and started shaping these.

Going to just do simple oak handles and letter punch their initials in each of them. Going to shoot to have them all done for Christmas presents.

I ground into that tang a little while removing the plastic handle from it but its not too deep and will be covered by the handle. Oops

You sure would get my vote

I just hope they take care of them and not lose them!!!

SWEET!

Do you just grind down to the desired shape and then how do you adjust the hardness to make it knife worthy?...or is it already the right hardness?

[TXHUNT3R]

Did some more shaping. Still a good bit to go.

lol I am a rookie, I have made ONE knife so far.

I will heat treat these all with an oil quench.

Got all six plus a bonus one in the works. Will do some more grinding tonight!

Well after getting injured in the eye, these kind of went on hold till I got healed up. Just got back in the shop and finishing these up for my son and nephews!
