have been reading posts for a few days and already learnt alot. i'm currently working on finishing my first knife although it's cheeky to say i made it as it used to be a military type d survival knife i bought rusty from a second hand shop. i re-shaped it into a bowie and completely changed the handle a long while ago and had occasion to use it almost full-time for a few weeks not long after i'd done it.it performed very well but i rather stupidly put a sharp clip on and it made skinning a tricky thing.anyway several years down the line and a lot more tools richer i decided to do a proper job of it and while researching i found this most informative website and when i do a knife from start to finish(i already have the steel thanks to a link on here :) ) i will try to post pictures and open myself to your remarks. keep up the good work :cool:
