Journey through my hobby

I really appreciate the comments about my knife thread. Knife making is something I have always been interested in; it rates right up there with the P&R S&W revolvers. I became interested in making knives back in the 70's and made a few crude blades. Then after retirement I decided to take it up again as a hobby.
Knives are fascinating and the fact that folks like them/love them speaks of the timeless appreciation of blades - past and present. From Bowies, to Dirks and those in between knives have been a staple of independence and fortitude.
So if you are interested I'm posting up some of my early knives that started a little over three years ago.

Early styles and shapes

My first knife circa 1972

More early blades

Thought this was going to go a really different route from the title.

Three years???????? How many of these things can you make a day???

That is impressive.

Lordy, Lordy!

I like the progression from apprentice to master!

You def have skills. Looks great!!

Love all the pics! Thanks for sharing those.
