Re: Just a knife design sketch
I am eager to see your design develop into a final product. Keep us posted on how it goes.

Re: Just a knife design sketch
Hey scandi, I greatly appreciate your interest. currently still gathering all the materials I need to make my first knife, I’m going to be trying the file jig method, i got the eye bolt, and some files, and I already got some 1095 carbon steel in that I’m going to be working with on my first blades. Just need a few other things and im going to start working on it very soon. Still drawing new designs pretty consistently, maybe I’ll take some pics and share soon, again thanks for the interest!

Re: Just a knife design sketch
Yeah, no problem. Being as I really would like to get into knife making myself, I am very curious to see how starting from scratch goes for you. I think you have an eye for design too. I am always interested to see the different shape mentality that every knife designer has. Everybody is a little bit different.Tristan_david2001 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 12:40 pmHey scandi, I greatly appreciate your interest. currently still gathering all the materials I need to make my first knife, I’m going to be trying the file jig method, i got the eye bolt, and some files, and I already got some 1095 carbon steel in that I’m going to be working with on my first blades.

Re: Just a knife design sketch
It would be cool if spyderco made a fixed blade like this. Very typical spyderco ergonomics in a fixed blade but a little more slim and neutral than the enuff fixed blade. And with a more calypso style blade and thumb ramp

Re: Just a knife design sketch
Yup. But a bit different. Main differences being a slimmer more neutral handle and a larger thumbramp. For the handle I was inspired by the original C model handles like the worker, and the Caly jr blade enlarged.

The first design reminds me of a Buck 471 Diamondback.
Looks good!
