My first attempt at a mid sized knife. Green canvas micarta scales, red fibre liners, brass pins and carbon fibre tubing. Sheath is kydex with a leather belt loop.

Cheers man! I started making them in February, it's so farkin addictive Problem is that i now spend more time thinking about knife designs than paintings... which is not good.
lol ... I hear you m8, your such a talented painter. But your great with your hands to. I can see how it can be a push / pull situation. Maybe try to do a knife , then a painting , then a knife , then a painting ect... Maybe that will work for you !?!
