Randall 7 Posted December 5 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 du Preez 344 Posted December 6 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 181 Posted December 6 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 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
