My First Custom Knife

Post by Corn Creek Cutlery »

This is my first effort at custom knifemaking. It is a 6 1/2" stock removal knife in a mystery steel I picked up. After quenching, a 55 file skates, and a 60 barely scratches. The handles are walnut from a tree Hurricane Helene brought down last year. Last step is to put an edge on it.

Great job!
You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.
