Knife Patterns Posted

When I first starting making my own blades I had a hard time finding designs or comming up with my own designs. Sure, I looked at a bunch of blanks and traced a few old Bucks I had like I'm sure the rest of you have done, but it took me a while before I felt like I could actually design a good knife. Thankfully I feel like I can design fairly well now (still working on the grinding though ). I just posted quite a few of my designs on my website, each with it's own .pdf link. If you click on the .pdf you should be able to print a close-to-life-size drawing. If any of you can use these as a basis for your own knives please feel free, just post pics of the completed knife. Just go to my site and click on "My Designs". Enjoy!

Great Ideas, Dave! The "Miller Time" will be very popular out in my area, with all of the rednecks, hillbellies, and hickablies(cross between a hick and a hillbilly).
