Project: Leemo "Big Knife"

[State_Vet]

Leemo contacted me and said he wanted a big knife, so I built him one. I took pics of the process this time. I started out with an 18" piece of 3/32 440 stainless steel. It took about 10 hours +/-.

Still the finishing work to do on it, but the hard parts done:rolleyes:
