Thread: Knifemaking photo-essay (1)

A big thanks for all the kind comments left on my last knife post (https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....knives-104619/). It seems there was sufficient interest in a knifemaking photo-essay, so this will be the first part.

I should mention that I’m self-taught, and mainly make knives as a hobby. I’m definitely not an “expert”.

A note on safety: at a minimum I wear safety glasses all the time while working. For some jobs I wear a safety visor as well.

The posts will describe how I made the knife shown in the image below. In the interests of keeping this “essay” to a manageable size, I haven’t attempted in-depth explanations [that would require me to write a book :-) ].
