avkiopy 1 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Looks great and really professional! But why do you guys make your own blades, it seems easier to just buy one rather than find the right piece of steel and file it to perfection hmmm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But why do you guys make your own blades, it seems easier to just buy one rather than find the right piece of steel and file it to perfection hmmm probablly because you would get more pleasure out of using a knife you have made your self than one bought in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ady-b 94 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Well finally finished the knife and Im rather pleased with the outcome.
