If your married you know there are those times that you just are proud of your other half, you know, the times that make up for the moments when you don't want to admit they're yours? (Just kidding... Sometimes)
This is one of those times I had to brag on him.
Hubs has started a new hobby, building bushcraft and hunting knives in he shed / backyard. He's even learned how to sew his own sheaths too.
The knife below used to be an old saw mill blade. He cut the blank out, softened the metal, and shaped the blade, and then put an edge on the blade and heat treated it to harden it again. The wooden scales for the handle are local cut cedar with a black liner and then some oak for the butt end of the handle. Turned of beautiful. He finished the sheath this morning. It's my new skinner for hunting season. (Or overly feisty rabbits... :mrgreen: )
He's made quite a few more in he two or three months since he started this hobby, but this is my favorite by far...
