I got the urge to try my hand at knife making a few weeks ago as a distraction from work and school. And by hand I mean with as little investment as possible.
This one required a couple of files, some sandpaper, a hacksaw, and a drill.

Heat treating was done in a makeshift forge made out of stacked fire brick and a propane torch.

I have a few others in the works, but it's slow going. Fun though.
