Made my first knife

[Crazyeye24]

After having my son spend a week at my Mom & Dad's and them making a nail knife, my dad got addicted to making knives. I was able to head down and make one of my own. Not bad for the first knife but there will be more. My dad is in the process of building a three burner forge for himself and will build a two burner for me. What an addicting hobby!

Good start. I have been into the hobby for about 5 years; just upgraded my forge from coal to propane. Only a single burner for me

I've watched way too many videos on making a home made forge and knife making. Soon or later I too will break down and have to try this.

Kudos OP. Nice knife!
