I made a start on my knife making excersize this morning, some of the parts ordered have arrived.
Steel works has shut down for Christmas so I can't visit yet for making my own blades, so am restricted to buying blades of which some have now arrived.
I have done knifes before with handle scales but I thought I would try a turned handle.
This Zebrano handle, 8 inch Bowie knife is my first attempt and I know exactly what I will improve upon with the next attempt but I am not ruling out turned handles entirely.
I also need to plot the engraving a lot more precise and grip the knife without damaging the blade so a bit more effort on that front too.
