DBain 15 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Here are 3 simple knives I banged out as Christmas gifts to my 3 nephews. 1084 steel from Aldo with Kirinite scales. They measure 7" - 7 1/2" and approximately 1/8" at the spine. These were forged then finish ground on my hobbled together 2x72 grinder(first knives I've finished with this grinder). On the orange handled knife I forgot to progress through my Gator belts before I did a little hand sanding to 400 and it shows. Sadly I had to mail it out as is to reach him in time for Christmas. I am still working on the other 2 as I will see those nephews on Christmas Eve. These are knives 13,14,15 for me. Any comments, tips, or criticism will be appreciated.

Zeb Camper 780 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I agree on the one on the right, but oh well. I think the one on the far left is my favorite. Link to post Share on other sites

DBain 15 Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Thanks, i had to give the skinner(leftmost) to a nephew yesterday evening. He killed his first whitetail deer with a bow, he was very excited on all accounts. Link to post Share on other sites
