Same as Ray and don't even bother asking to see it, the answer's no.

Sorry, it's too much like Medusa, might turn you to stone. At the very least, the sight of it would have you running to the bathroom for a few days. That would interrupt your knife making and I wouldn't want to be responsible for that.
Think of it like the warehouse scene in the first Raiders movie: there are some things we simply aren't ready to handle just yet ....

Who knows? That would have been about 60 years ago.

I have mine laying around somewhere, it's a despicable thing. Honestly I would be will to bet it would be in the top 5 if not top 3 of everyone's worst knives. It was before I ever knew anyone was doing this... I thought I had an original idea of making my own knife, HA!
Made out of some random piece of metal I found... it's more rust than metal now, it looks more like a knife from a far distance than upclose.

I think that you may be starting to get the picture that no one here is a natural born knife maker.

Well, that's true - I did carve a few out of old Christmas trees when I was a kid. Funny thing, they were very sticky knives as I recall but not in the way cutlery usually is expected to be. :-D
Maybe I will dig out a few of those first knives and put them up here. Check back tomorrow. Warning! Don't try to drink milk and look at the pictures at the same time....
