Hello everyone, this is something that took over a year to complete, mainly because I was lazy, and is very special to me. It is a knife that I made after being inspired by videos on youtube, and actually got me started into woodworking. I got a scroll saw for 15$ at a garage sale, this was when I was still making the knife, because the person I bought it from said that it could cut curved lines in wood (Lol). I was interested in this because I did, in fact, need to cut curvy lines to make the wooden handle scales. I actually made 4 different sets of scales, but ended up using the last one. The first ones I made with cherry that was in my garage, but I decided I wanted something nicer. Which led to me buying spalted wood from the wood store....which I ended up cracking. After that I kind of just stopped working on it, but started to get curious about the scroll saw. I looked up some videos and was so amazed at what you could do with it. Unfortunately I also found out that my saw only accepted pinned blades, which were more expensive, broke more often, and needed bigger holes drilled for them. But I kept at it and made a lot of neat little things and started to sell some stuff. I decided to start working on the knife again and thought that with my new knowledge it would be easier. I then purchased my third set of handle scales online, they were amboya burl. I ended up doing something wrong in the glue up because when hammering the pins through the wood, the new scales cracked too. The next morning I was so frustrated and upset that I slapped on some walnut quickly, not taking too much time....and it surprisingly worked. I shaped and sanded and did all that good stuff and was finally done with that darn thing. as some of you know I just recently Bought a very fancy new saw, and have been scrolling a lot with it. Anyways just thought I'd share this with you guys, I know there isn't really that much woodworking, but if you have any questions about the knife blade itself I'll be glad to answer. -Matt
ps. I do not hunt, this knife is merely for fiddling around in the woods and for using at home.
