DIY Knifemaking: 2 new clips

Post by astronomy.domaine » Thu May 28, 2015 10:59 pm

Hi All,
here are a couple of blades I was buggered to build for my younger cousins. Both are clip points made from tool grade steel with wooden grips and soft steel bolsters.
Please have a look! comments/suggestions are welcome..:)

Lucky buggers, your cousins :D

Neat looking knives as usual. Loved the file work on the spine.

I honestly don't have words to comment on your knives, AD!

You and Pratik take knifemaking to a new level!

I think I am your cousin, too..... a bit distant though, maybe 20th cousin or something...... :mrgreen:
Cheers!
