Custom Knife Making: The Drop Point Hunting Knife
Thank you for joining me on my channel. Today, we will be making a Drop Point Hunting knife, with an added glass breaker tip. I made this knife using 5mm Bohler N690 steel for the blade, 3mm Stainless Steel pins, Tambotie wood paired with black G10 liners for the handle scales.
