Some knives i've made
Here are a couple knives i've made out of a deer shed base and a blade.
This knife blade was off of a older knife that had a broken handle on it.
This was the first blade I tried making. I just took the grinder to it and then the die grinder to try and smooth it out.
I made a couple more this past week but they have wooden handles. The blades I made a little better but still out of a plain peice of steel. The recent ones I took to the steel rod to really sharpen them up. I was cuttin my steak with one of them the other day. It cut real nice. It also cuts a tomatoe like butter.
Ill get pictures of them up later on when I get home from school.

Okay here are the other two knives I made. These knives are mainly just for show... I don't plan to use them for anything since I bought a cleaning set before turkey season so theres really no need for another knife...
I tried going for a snake look for the handle on the one. Im not really a professional carver but if you put your imagination to it im sure you can get a snake out of it.

Nice job
your off to a good start,if you can try usin a full tang with your blades,youll find they will be alot stronger and more able to do heavy work..i make a few knives myself and so does my bro,if i knew how to gets pics up in here i would show you but im pretty puter dumb.try old saw blades and even go to a engineers work shop and ask if they have any hi carbon hack saw blades that are blunt,they are good steel and make a very sharp blade..keep up the good work..
