First knife

[ctom87]

Inspired by the knife makers here, I went the cheap way and bought a made in China knife blank. When I got home I search through my scrap pile until I got to a 2x2x12 inch cocobolo blank I was given when I bought my lathe at a garage sale.

Not perfect, but it fits my palm very well. Biggest mistake was not buying enough stainless steel dowel. Oops!!!

Thank you. Cuts really well!

Its not a project until you made the blood sacrifice. I was surprised at how sharp it was and how well it could cut.

Nice first knife, and that cocobolo color looks good with the blade. Wear a proud smile along with your finger bandage when showing off that knife. Good job.

Looks good, little late but you could have turned that missing pin into a through hole for a lanyard. Always sucks running out of materials

Was the blade already cut and formed? I like the pin layout
