My First “Knife”, again.
One year after diving into knifemaking, I decided to celebrate by creating a reinterpretation of my very first knife.
This time around I had a year of experience, better materials, and more effective tools. My goal was to keep to the same dimensions and design while applying improvements to materials and processes.
Overall I was very happy with the outcome.
