Student's Knives 2011

[Oldknfmkr]

My student, Gage, finished 3 knives this summer and rough forged 2 more. He only had two days each week in the forge, due to football practice schedule. He has really improved his hammering skills.

Not too shabby for a 13 year old.
Thanks for looking,
Mike

Not too shabby indeed. I've seen stuff that didn't look nearly so nice go for a fair chunk of change.

Nice work! I have seen plenty of lower quality stuff on the traders tables.

Thanks for all of the words of encouragement. I have passed them on.
I got a call this weekend from Gage. He sold the top knife to an avid hunter. He told me to order the parts to build his gas forge. Needless to say, he was a bit excited.
