My Best Knife
I've been "making" knives for about 6 months using purchased blades, hardwood scraps, and a lot of help from this forum. I just completed this example which I feel is my best to date. The damascus blade was bought from TKS, I drilled the bolster holes with a carbide bit and made the NS bolsters. The streaked buffalo horn was sanded to 600 and buffed.

That's a beautiful knife, Bill. One to be proud of.
I buy blades, too, and then make the knife. May I ask the model number of that nice blade?

It looks like a ladder pattern pronghorn?
Cheers Ron.

Nice clean work! 'Bout time to grind one out from scratch? You certainly have the skills, and if you made those bolsters. you have the tools too!

The blade is a TKS BLF21 which is described as a twist pattern. Pin hole size is actually 5/32 although I used 1/8" pins. I recently purchased a Delta SA180 1" belt/8" disc sander from Amazon for $90 delivered. IMHO a very good value. I used the 8" disc to shape the bolsters and the belt to sand the horn where I could although a lot of it had to be done by hand. Thanks for the comments.
