Bro that insane work. Hats off ... and more over this is your first one. Really special Bro.

Could you share the method you used to make the lovely sheath (wooden).
I love wood ones.

Cheers [emoji482]

Vjisaac,

That is a very well done job for a first knife. Using an old file is a brilliant idea. How does it perform? The scabbard is not bad either. Quite nice in fact. Congratulations.

Cool work...if possible add a Gaurd and add more curve to the knife pomel as it's a chopper it will give you a leverage

Wow
My workshop isn't even up and I already have competition
Lol

Anyway, it's a great blade you have there. Love the aesthetics. Externally it looks as if it's a half-tang blade, try to refrain from half-tangs because they snap. Try finishing the furniture with Linseed oil or wax compounds.

Follow Walter Sorrels on YouTube if you plan to continue with this.
