Got me a few blades from WoodCraft in this style to make some knives for friends and family. The top of the blade wasn't sharpened so I ground the side in then sharpened the top like the bottom part of the blade, I cut the handles from some plexi-glass sheet I have, couldn't decide on orange or yellow, but I think this color came out ok. Measures 11 - 1/2" total with 1 - 3/8" deep blade .... I Did the log bark pattern on the handles with a dremel....what you think? pappy]
