  • Is this knife ready for WAR?!? Recently yall gave me some input on three different knife designs. This design was the clear winner! There were many facets of this knife build that were new to me including hollow grinding the bevels and grinding in the clip on the blade. Trying out new techniques in the art of knife making is what makes this craft fun! I hope yall enjoy the build; and if you have any questions please put them in the comments below.
