Randall 7 Posted December 5, 2019 Well it's been almost 4 months since I brought hot iron to the anvil. It has been a blast learning as I go, but I think it is about time to reach out to someone local to help develop better skills. That being said this is a every day carry that I made for a family member as a Christmas gift. The blade was forged out of one of the railroad clips I picked up. The handle is made up of homemade black and red liners, and the wood is leopard wood. I also have a first attempt at a mosaic pin, but it looks almost like the epoxy resin is cracked in a spot deep within. Overall I am happy with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charles dP 410 Posted December 6, 2019 Some interesting ideas in this knife. The free-floating mosaic pin is kinda cool too. As you are thinking about it, I cannot recommend taking a class highly enough. It definitely helps you up that learning curve faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Lester 232 Posted December 6, 2019 Nice looking knife. I noticed the bandaid. Did it bite you sometime along the way? I swear that bandaids are consumable materials when it comes to knifemaking. Doug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randall 7 Posted December 7, 2019 Yeah I cut my finger on it, after sharpening it I seen a spot on the handle that could use a bit for sanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
