Thanks Doc,
I think you are giving me way too much credit. 3-years and this is the first decent knife I have completed. It feels slow to me. I taught myself to play guitar in less than a year in comparison.
I suspect your not giving your self enough credit.
It's not like you sat there for 3 years 8 hours a day.
I'd sort of guess you mean a few hours a month or thereabouts over 3 years.
Even if I am wrong and you did spend longer, the point is you got there.
You now have a pretty decent looking knife that does what a knife is supposed to do.
It cuts.
And it looks good.
I bet even in pre-historic times when a person was learning how to knap, they were shown by elders (and they probably had a lot of elders to show them) and probably had been watching their elders for years before they even tried actual knapping and still probably spent weeks getting their first one right, despite all the tribal knowledge they probably had to draw on..
GIve your self credit - as credit is due here I think.
You did well.
