First knife made since November
Whats up everyone,
Let me start off by saying that I hate it that I couldn't make it to the guild meeting last week. I did everything I could to try and get off work but I just couldn't. I am going to make it to the next one though. I already put in for time off. Back to the point. This has been a super busy year so far with work, my wife's business, and Dad responsibilities, so I haven't been able to do much in the shop. I did however buy a KMG grinder, so thats a plus. Well, here is my first knife of the year, and the first one I've made since I did those pukkos last November. It is also my first wharncliff style knife, and the first knife I've put a real makers mark on. It's a lot of firsts...  Here are the specs: OAL is 8 1/4" Blade length is 3 3/4" I forged the blade from a piece of 1084 I got from the INTH at the spring guild meeting scales are black and natural canvas micarta, as are the pins. What do you think?      -Adam Last edited by Adam Reese; 08-12-2012 at 04:07 PM. Reason: adding images

Very nice Adam. I like it. I had to work also and didn't get to go. Was really looking forward to it. I hope I can make the next one.

Thanks guys,
It's nice to get good feedback like that on something I've made. It is what keeps me making and striving to do better. I am going to try to get to track rock this year, and bring my forge an anvil this time. I hope to see ya'll there. -Adam

I love the knife Adam. I missed the meeting too. Come to the shop, and I'll show you all the tricks I know on that KMG, and on making that etch POP.
Anytime.

Andy its funny you should say that,
Just yesterday my wife said I should make a day trip to your shop so you could show me some things. If you are there during the weekdays, I think I can make it up one day next week. I go back to work this Friday night until Monday night, then I'm off Tues, Weds, Thurs. Let me know if any of these would work for you. -Adam

Any weekday is fine with me Adam. Thursday would be the best day though.
