Loooong Break and a second knife.

G'day All

Having had a long break from knife making, (work, baby arrival, mountain biking, four wheel driving, bush walking, fishing etc.....I do have far too many hobbies) im starting to miss it and am designing another knife. However i thought it would be good to post my second knife first. I actually completed it about 6 months ago. all hand filed (takes forever) although i think i will re shape the scales, and really try and get some contours into it. I have multiple knives in progress
Next blade is a big 7 inch camp knife from 1075 with canvas micarta scales..stay tuned.

Sorry for crap photos, obviously photography is NOT one of my hobbies
12c27
G10 scales
4 inch Blade

That's very nice work, especially for not using any machines on it ....

Very nice work. A knife like that has a lot of tender loving care in it. Thanks for posting.

Thank You Gents. Yes there are many many hours in a hand filed and finished knife.

Cheers
