K.K.Janzen 13 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Last year when I was getting my level C welding ticket, my instructor found out that I make knives, and wanted to see what I'd made. When I showed him a few all he said was "Make me one and I'll buy it". He wanted a bowie of some kind, but otherwise gave me free reign. He just wanted a unique knife from a local craftsman. So I got to have some fun, and just go with the flow as I progressed through each stage of it. And I'm quite happy with it! I hadn't made a knife in over a year so I'm glad it turned out, and now I'm back on the train, looking to start my next project. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff Keyes 672 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 That is certainly some kind of Bowie, nice work Geoff "The worst day smithing is better than the best day working for someone else." I said that. If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly. - - -G. K. Chesterton So, just for the record: the fact that it does work still should not be taken as definitive proof that you are not crazy. Grant Sarver Link to post Share on other sites
Byron studley 18 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Glad it you got the bug again! That's a nice looking knife. Any plans for the next project? Link to post Share on other sites
K.K.Janzen 13 Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Yeah, I'm looking to make a shaving razor for myself. Then a kitchen knife probably. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
C Craft 207 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I AGREE WITH GEOFF, nice Bowie!! C Craft Customs ~~~ With every custom knife I build I try to accomplish three things. I want that knife to look so good you just have to pick it up, feel so good in your hand you can't wait to try it, and once you use it, you never want to put it down ! If I capture those three factors in each knife I build, I am assured the knife will become a piece that is used and treasured by its owner! ~~~ C Craft Link to post Share on other sites
