First knife project

[OneBadV8]

So, I decided I wanted a knife I couldn't find anywhere. DaKruiser offered to help me make it and its finally starting to take shape so I thought I'd share.

...That's one heck of a knife. Looks great so far, can't wait to see it when it's finished.

It's probably going to be a boot knife or neck knife.

I'd need a heck of a sheath, it'll just be a fun knife to beat on though

make sure you heat treat it right. I had a friend who made his own knife. He stabbed it into some hard dirt and made it into a boomerang.

Yep, it'll get sent off for a real heat-treat.

Looks good. I have a few ideas and have been wanting to make my own knife. What did you use to cut the shape out with?

well you want to keep it cool. It was supposed to be cut with a water jet but there was a mix up at the shop that did it and a plasma cutter got used. I would use a band saw too and keep it oiled and cool.

there are a few spots you could tell got a little hot when it got cut out because it was a bit harder than the rest when sanding it.

I was wondering about it when I saw that second photo of your original post.

You need to post pics of it actually being ground...unless you're going nto file it, then I want to see the jig.

Well, its already ground down smooth. But I'm sure I'll have pics when we grind the edge on it.
