I was rummaging and cleaning out my shed yesterday evening and an old project fell into my hands ๐Ÿ˜

It was or will be a Bowie knife I started and promised my cousin about two maybe 3 years agoโ€ฆ.so itโ€™s back on top of the pile for me to play with when I have spare moment,,,, this thread could be running for a while ๐Ÿ˜‚ I will update as I go ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
 
Had a play with it just thereโ€ฆ. Blade is ready to be treated and tempered ( am sure the Wif will be pleased when Iโ€™m using her hairdryer for the coals ๐Ÿ˜‚),,, and Iโ€™m currently arguing with myself on what shape to make the guard ๐Ÿ˜‚
