Attached is a photo of a knife that I made for my father over 30 years ago. It was the first one I ever made and the only one I have made to date. It's made from a commercial hacksaw blade and all work was done by hand with files, etc. Blade length is 5", overall length is 10". He hung it on the wall in his den until he passed away recently. I reaquired it at that point. It'll still shave the hair off your arm........... I think I have the bug again to go make something. Bill Harsey.............no laughing please. All rookies start out somewhere,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
