Couple of weeks ago the GF's grandson was over helping me in the shop. He's always wanting to make something. He asked if there was any way we could make a knife. I looked around, found an old lawnmower blade and we got to work. Helped him cut it down, then drew out a form and he began grinding. He worked all afternoon with some help from me at times then we found an old broken oak hammer handle. After a lot of grinding, sanding, polishing, etc. this is what he ended up with. I cut the pattern for the sheath and he sewed it up...Not bad for a 12 year old.
