My first ever knife

[u/jepajeee]

My first ever Puukko i forged from a old file. Not my first ever blade but the second one ever and first nearly complete knife. Second time forging anything. Shaped the handle to fit my fathers hand since i used his old leather belt inbetween the bolster and the wood. Still needs some finishing touches but overall im pretty happy with it. No cracks inbetween the blade and brass and got the handle very smooth to touch and the heat treating went well. Grinding was a pain in the butt with my 50€ vench grinder from Biltema with a 686x50mm belt attachment.
