Hello Ladies and Gents! Just wanted to take a minute and introduce myself. My name is Steve and I live in MA. I always wanted to make knives and have recently took the plunge! I'm maybe a third of the way thru my first build! I used 01 tool steel 1/8" thick and 1" wide. Its a small knife to get my feet wet. I've done all of the shaping by hand filing except the rough cutting of the blank I have a small band saw that I built a table for years ago! It will have Black Micarta handles and 1/4" SS pins. Still need to harden blade (going to use my torch with the Rose Bud tip) and Peanut oil then temper in an old Toaster oven. I have already learned a ton on this small basic blade and am looking forward to finishing it as time allows! This has been one of the most fun things I've done in a while. Any suggestions are welcome and I look forward to contributing on here as I continue!

Thanks!
