I made a knife!
My lovely wife gifted me a three-day knife making class at a local “pioneer village” experience. Had a great time and am pretty darned pleased with the end result if I do say so myself!

Nice! Even if you never make another, you have a family heirloom. Smile

Does your wife have any single sisters?

Great-looking knife.

That doesn’t look bad at all. Very nice. I’d hate to see what mine would end up looking. Yours is very well designed and executed.


"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I think you might have started something, and now the itch will start to try again and again. Looks really good.

Yeah, I have already considered several different designs I would like to try out and some of the required equipment may have been in my shopping cart for a while. LOL!

I may indeed. For someone just looking to tinker, the $$$ outlay doesn't seem too bad, and BOY was it fun!
