Here is a pic of my first homemade knife. It's not perfect but good to go for the field.
Thanks, the blade is 1/8 inch thick. I got the steel, pins, lanyard tube and micarta from jantz knife supplies. The tools I used were a angle grinder to rough profile the blade, a small 1x30 belt grinder, drill, lots of sand paper, buffer and this small mini forge. I found plans on YouTube, watched other knife makers on YouTube and referenced the $50.00 knife shop by Wayne Goddard.
