My first Bushcraft knife!

[slammer187]

So after making two other blades and learning from my mistakes I finally made a fully finished knife from scratch!

I started of with a piece of 01 and ground my blade with an angle grinder and then cleaned it up on my Aldi belt grinder!

The machinery cost me €45

I HTed in a hole in the ground and tempered in an oven at 220C for 1 hour

I'm only 15 so I suppose I've got years ahead of me to learn!

Here's a few video and pics!
