This is my first knife.
Still a work in progress. The edge is off by half a millimeter from front to back. Need to adjust the shape of the handle a bit. It's already pretty comfy but it needs to look better. Finger groove needs to become a bit bigger. Not sure if I'm going to add another groove or change the shape of the back of the handle. Still looking for a cheap manual drill to make holes in the handle for the pins. Trying to make this knife without electrical tools to make it as difficult as possible. So far I've used a saw and two files. I already made a filing jig but the edge needs to be perfect before I start using the jig. I'm also going to make my own Micarta for the handles. Knife going to be a heavy duty camp knife. Chopping wood etc.
O2 tool steel, 5.4MM. Going to be hardened to around 60 Rockwell.
