My first knife: take two! (slightly pic heavy)

[Asa Samuel]

Well, I thinned down my knife as some here and over on BB suggested, it feels much nicer in the hand but I don't think I'd want it much thinner as the mora is too thin for me.

hope you like it :)

Looking good, and if it feels good in the hand then your onto a winner, and one to be proud of!

Great work there Asa, As welshwhit said if it feel good for you then it's your knife. So, when do you start the next?

[Asa Samuel]

Well I'm going to start on the sheath tonight (just a basic one) and then I can start thinking about the next one :D

[Ph34r]

It's funny how a few mm make a huge difference. Good job mate.

[brancho]

It takes time to trust that tehy are not too thin:35:

[JonathanD]

Don't listen to other people too much, they are just going off how it looks. What matters most is how it feels in your hand, if it looks or feels strange to other people, it doesn't matter as it is made for you, not them. Great stuff btw.

Hi Asa - Like many other things in life, you'll never forget your first.
and as firsts (Knives) go, you've done a great job there, you should be proud of your efforts.

If like many other folks who have made their own....you'll not part with it for love nor money ;)

Cheers
Tom
