I make a few up now and again but just for myself and the wife so I can make up knives that I see but can not afford to buy I will be getting some white Corian for knife handles and making up the knives early summer I want to make a woodlore copy...

I did start out making sheaths for my bought knifes and decided to start making my own blades too its loads of fun....

you're right it is fun! I love my job. Wouldn't want to do anything else now!

I haven't really made any knives tho it is definitely on the "To DO" list. So far I have done a couple of salvage projects, older knives that I find at flea markets or yard sales, I recut and grind the blades and put new scales or handles on them....

I am a knife maker but not a Canadian knife maker.

There are some Canadian custom knife makers, but none make knives I can afford, haha. My favourite maker is Gill Cote. He makes some absolutely beautiful knives.

Just joined the forum, I've been making knives both full and part time since I was a kid, which is kinda longer than I wanna admit at this point.
Last few years I've gotten away from all the other stuff and mainly concentrate on users, Scandinavian-influenced in particular.
Been reading a lot here already, cool spot.

Here's a few of mine, the last one is the only one I've managed to hold onto for myself in a couple of years.

Thanks Bill!

once you make a few blades you understand the work that goes into them and really start appreciating a nice knife....

Some really nice work there. I love your leather work!

Thanks, it's one of the things I enjoy the most about making the Scandinavian style stuff.
