View Full Version : A new knife maker
My youngest finally finished his first knife, and while his hands are still too young to work metal, he has 5-6 hours of real sweat in filing, sanding and polishing.

That looks really nice. Very good job on the finishing. Did dad do the metal work or did dad allow his son to have some fun too?

That's a nice knife Wet Dog.
That's a good way to teach your young ones the value of hard work. Let me know if he's planning on selling any.

He's not going to get authorization to proceed without a two week aprenticship with Bill Harsey, there is only so much a father can do, and sometimes, dad is not the one to teach. This is when Bill steps in and says, "Your father wants you to learn...".
He is excited about making more knives. He got to gut and clean a few fish that his older brother caught today. I saw that kid rest comfortably on the ice for an hour looking up at Big Horn Sheep.

That is a great looking knife, very nice work.

Wet Dog,
Please give your son my best for the work he has done. That knife looks better than the first fifty I did.

WD,
You're right to be a proud pappa and your son is very talented. He did some outstanding work on that piece. I wish you and your family continued success in the future.

Big Teddy, my name is White Bear, my Navajo uncle named me that, I'm Wet Dog's youngest son. I turn 10 in February and I plan on becoming a Special Forces soldier when I have finished HS and have a couple of years in the Infantry under by belt.
Thank you for the nice comments on my first knife. I want to build more, but I'm living with my mom this year while my dad is relocating his business.
Yes, I watched big horm sheep whiling lying on the ice. My dad has also taught me to make fire with flint and steel. My favorite is steel-wool, car batteries and gas.
My favorite subjects is school are science, social studies and math, maybe I'll be an SF engineer or a detachment commander. I like all things old, I like to weld, blacksmith and build old cars. Santa gave me a '75 Torino with a 351M engine, 111,000 original miles. It runs well, but needs a new paint job. I'll post when it is finshed. I'll be with my dad all summer long, you and my dad should take a road trip.

I'll ask him, standby,.....
He says yes but he wants to aprentise with a real knife maker first, not dad.
I think I was just fired.
That's it I've got dibs on the first one!

WD,, Congratulation to your son for the fine job,, :D
And to you for developing such a good relationship with your kids.. :lifter:D:lifter
Worth a gazillion bucks...
White Bear, signing on...
My dad let's me read a few threads when we're together.
Got to spend some time with him in the pool today.:lifter
Cross-overs still suck, flutter-kicks suck more.:mad:
I play center field this weekend, go SF Giants. Still hoping the Rockies beat Phillies.
Picked up a Barack Obama baseball card in a White Sox pack, 2005, when he pitched the opening game ball, 2005 World Series for his favorite team.
You can't make this stuff up.
