bushcraft knife

[urban fox]

Dont know if ive posted this in the right section.. but!! I recently bought a diy woodlore style knife kit..
to buy the knife itself ready made would have cost me just short of £200!!! but I bought the kit and put it all together myself!!! I am not a wood and metal worker and this was my first attempt at self making such an important tool but following a tutorial I did everything to the letter... I am so pleased with myself... its an absolute corker!!! the blade is o1 tool steel and the handle has red liners next to the tang, then white liners and finished in burr elm!!! sealed with danish oil... and the hardest part was the sheath!!! 3 mill thick saddle leather!!! had to drill the stitching holes with a dremmel and needle drill bit...
dont know how to post a photo of it but just cant emphasise how proud of it I am!!!
its a project I would recommend to anyone.
its hard to explain the feeling of using such a tool which you have made yourself...
has anyone else made their own???

Sounds good. Do you have any pictures to share?

Well done.

I am always in awe of people that are capable of such things.

I am not so lucky; so bought mine ready made

I made a few knives from kits, a long bow and arrows, then an axe or two and have just moved on to my first walking stick with antler crook. I warn you it's very infectious and just sucks you right in. Still the long winter evenings are coming...
