Congrats!

No don’t sweat it I’m happy to take any constructive criticism! I just want to make the best knives that I can. Btw didn’t you just win a grinder?

Thanks guys as of right now I’m thinking I’d like to do natural canvas micarta for the handle and then black G10 pins and liners. I have no clue what I want to do for a blade finish yet I’m gonna have to feel it out a bit but I’m leaning towards just a satin

I don’t have any specifics just yet I want it to sit at right around 12” . That drawing is a very rough draft

Im super excited to enter into the KITH this year! I’ve never made a proper Bowie before so This is gonna be a very fun project! I’m probably not gonna put the hamon on the blade just because I want to do my absolute best work lol. Thanks for checking it out

There’s other knifemaking forums :eek:

Wow this is such great advice I’m going to make a wooden blank as soon as I can and have someone try to take it from me with all they got! The knife that I posted is definitely gonna serve as a baseline and Im actually going to meet with the chief this week to figure out what needs to be...

Thanks for the input! I will have to see what I can do on the next one

Yeah for sure! I was kinda on the fence about which one to use but I decided to just go with this one for the first knife of this style

I’m sorry for the crappy pictures :(

Alright this prototype is just about done I’m really happy with how it turned out. I imagine if I get a chance to make some knives for the officers it will look a bit different than this but I figured this is a good base line and it’s something that the police chief can hold and tell me the...

I’m gonna have to follow this one for sure!

Here is some more progress on my law enforcement knife prototype. I stonewashed the blade and got the handle glued up last night tonight I will shape my handle and hope start trying to get a sheath figured out

Oh for sure I think the biggest knife I would make is 12 inch Kukri

I need to get me a HT oven. I’d love to be able to handle my stainless in house

This is my very first “prototype” I hope to finish this guy out so I can show this to my police chief then we will move on from there

Alright guys now here is another question I was gonna go with Cerakoted 80crv2 for the knife steel is this a good choice or should I pick a different steel type?

This is so great aswell I will take all this into consideration

Yeah this is almost exactly what I was thinking

Your a glass half full kinda guy aren’t you LOL
