Yesterday I posted the photo below of my first knife and sheath in The New to Knife Making section. It was a bit of a journey getting to this first finished knife. I bought a couple of finished blades from Jantz and before I had a chance to work on them I purchased "How to Make Knives" with Bob Loveless. Stock removal looked interesting, so off I went grinding bevels with a 1x30 sander. After two unsuccessful attempts I decided I needed a" real" grinder. I purchased the plans for a No Weld Grinder and spent the next three months buying parts and building it. The knife in the photograph was the first I ground with the NWG. By the way, the Jantz blades still aren't finished!
I am mainly interested in hunters and skinners and admire the work of Bob Loveless, Dietmar Kressler, and Bob Dozier, among others.
