Tutor Knives

I made my first knife 25 years ago. It was ugly but it would cut! I've been working on honing in my skill ever since. I'm going to start making videos of my builds and hopefully can pass on some skills/ tips/ tricks and get someone else to have the love of knifemaking I do!

    Dang man. 8" off the tip? Is it typical for copper to blow out welds like that? It's still a super-duper extra fantasmastalogical sword
