Post pics of your first/ugly/failed knives
I've heard more experienced makers here tell newbies things like:
"That knife is ok....you shoulda seen MY first knife...what a hunk of junk!" well.... I'm curious to SEE these knives... I believe that they could possibly be a teaching and learning tool for everyone here, so don't be bashful and ashamed....post em! __________________ ....a nozh scrap any time you say |

Her I go again, 3rd time is the charm Here are my first two knives....I have improved slightly since,but I am still a newbie. Edited to add: while they are not very pretty, they both are still quite useful, one is in my kitchen drawer and the other is in a bucket in my shop and gets used for everything from cutting to prying open stuff.

Since you asked so nicely...
...here is my first. I still have it, and I am not ashamed of it. It was built in total ignorance about 40 years ago.

Failed blade
Hmm..I dont have any pics of my first knife but I do have a nice pic of a failed blade.
This particular blade was made for the KITH on the Primal fires site. It didnt make it throught the heat treat in one piece tho. |

Here's my first, second, and third. On my fourth I got a chance to hammer with Roc Ellis for an afternoon and there was a noticable jump in quality, I estimate 6 months off the learning curve.

I think that little knife is very cool Don... Looks like a really practical knife. I wouldn't be ashamed of it either... seems really handy.
Thanks guys for posting your knives. __________________ ....a nozh scrap any time you say |
