Knife Makers?

[jim l.]

I was just wondering if there were any knife making hobbiests out there.

This is one of those " kind'a like it, kind'a don't" efforts. A friend asked if I ever tried to make a "Tracker" style edge. This was my attempt. I blended a drop point style with a "tracker" style cutting edge. I'll admit that it makes nice curls and feather sticks on oak

I forgot to add, that it was forged from an old leaf spring. The Handle scales are oak and as a half joke (too myself), bamboo pins.
