Once again, I have to comment on such a beautiful-looking rosewood handle. And it looks like it would fit really well in the palm. Tell Everett he got a 👍 from a wood lover on our Forum.

His first knife build. Numbers 2-3-4-5.... :arrow: can only get better :!: :) :!:

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Very nice. I have done several knife kits from woodcraft, adding the wooden handles, then making sheaths from scratch. YouTube is your friend. :lol: I wouldn't mind trying to make a knife from scratch either, but... I would need a lesson or two, and a heat source. 8-)

I admire those who do that work. :lol:

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
