I mentioned I have been building knives. I build them on an occasional basis, as time permits, mostly working them in around building a house. This is the latest. The blade is 3.5" and forged from 1/2" round O1 tool steel... guard is etched wrought iron from an old wagon tire... handle is spacer of black, paper micarta, aged elk antler stabilized with dyed epoxy and a stainless steel pin. I've got 9 or 10 more in process, both straight steel and damascus steel I've made, but it seems like I only get a couple done in a year.
