Today I finished my first major creation! My first knife!
We had to let the epoxy dry overnight so everything would stay in place.
The Final Product!
I really like how the blade turned out. It gives the knife a lot of character and makes it look like it has actually been used. As a said before, since it is my first one and was bound to be kind of crude, it was very much function over form. Practical and useful. The real show comes in at the handle. Some more sanding which is always fun for me, and the caps bring a nice look with the aluminum top and copper bottom. Originally, I wanted the handle to be a sort of umbrella shape. Staring thin at the top and spreading out at the bottom, but what ended up becoming of it was just as good! I was told that happens quite often actually. You start aiming for one thing and it more or less becomes another. I am very proud of this and already have more projects lined up for the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
