My first garage built knife....

[Arcticmanak]

Excellent work. Your bevels and plunge lines look great!

Nice work, I’d use those. Nice job with the Kydex as well.

These looks awesome. Did you have any experience with knife making or did you just jump right in? Any resources you’d recommend?

 

[markXshooter]

Nice work! It’s addictive for sure

Zero experience besides being a bit of a knife nerd. Watched a lot of YouTube and read a lot of info on bladeforums

Thank you! I was suprised how simple the kydex process is. I'm kinda getting the hang of it.

Nice work! My first three looked a lot like a prison shank.

Solid knife!

Skinned three bison cows today. Victorinox boning knife did the majority but I had to try out my newest one. Seemed to hold and edge decently well.

Great work, loving the knife pictured above.

Awesome! Knives look good! Especially with using a 1x30 harbor freight. I made a few with the same belt grinder and they didn't look near that good. Didn't care for the 1x30 and coudnt justify a 2x72. I just got a 2x42 dayton but havent had time to use it yet. I would definitely consider the investment if you are already making knife looking that good!

For a first knife that looks pretty rad! Nice job!

Yep, I'm with Decker.

 

[BChunt]

That's an awesome knife! I've always wanted to make one but never gotten around to it

 

[dwhite0622]

Dang man! Nicely done. Those came out great!

 

[Jamr]

Those look great. Awesome work!

Nice grinding job. Did you use a jig or is it freehand?

 

[Trees91]

Jig for the majority of stock removal. A little freehand with some high grit belts. I'll try freehand more down the road but for now a jig is the way to go.

 

[Westminster359]

Nice!

Jig for the majority of stock removal. A little freehand with some high grit belts. I'll try freehand more down the road but for now a jig is the way to go.

post a pic? not sure how a jig would work.. but freehand is tricky..ask me how i know

I'll get a picture tomorrow if I think of it. It's real basic, you can buy them that are much nicer and probably more precise. I just made one quick out of angle iron and tapped a hole for a bolt to adjust the angle.
