[MJ.]

thanks, i do hunt as well so use a few different knifes. just always wanted to make my own

[LoneWalker]

Very nice. I have a few old files lying around but couldn't turn them into anything like that!!

[midas]

Nice selection of blades MJ.T^

[MJ.]

Very nice. I have a few old files lying around but couldn't turn them into anything like that!!

thanks, they take a bit of work but can be done using really basic hand tools... a hack saw, files and fire! i use a bit more than that with angle grinders, belt sanders, piller drills and such but you can make a usable knife with the above hand tools

welcome mate,lovely work on the blades,i also hunt and always got my eye on a good blade,i like the bare one's without scales,they look a handy paunching knife..good work..atb kev

[LoneWalker]

May have a go with one as I have most of the tools you mention. Anything on YouTube or the like you would recommend?
