Tennessee Classic Knife
« on: May 18, 2014, 04:23:36 pm »
The guys at Twin Oaks helped me make a knife at this year's Classic.  Bitten by the knife bug, I received this knife blank later in the week in trade from Alan Corn.  At the 2013 Classic, I rec'd some elk antler sheds from Hawk.  Thought I'd try making scales out of it.  In between and as a diversion from making bow blanks, this is what I come up with.  It sure was fun.  Alan?  I might have to get a few more knife blanks from you.  This itch needs more scratchin'!

Now that's a nice knife!

I think we made a few knifes during the Classic.  I hope the folks who had a chance to make one enjoyed the process.

If I can ever get this bow building thing figured out, I may try my hand at a knife or two.  Yours turned out nice Matt.

Nice work Matt. It looks to be great steel to.
