    REED ME TEXT:
    12/16/2023 - Release of Version 1.0:
    *************************************
    This file release will be of knives built on the Red Beard Ops youtube channel in and before 2020 (and a few of them from 2021...).
    Note many of these designs took strong inspiration from others in the knife making community. Most notably the Simple Little Life build along kitchen knife (2019) and the Cleaver Neck Knife (2020) (which was inspired by Walter Sorrells Feather neck knife).
    ‪@WalterSorrellsBlades‬ ‪@Simplelittlelife‬
    *************************************
    For all intents and purposes, I consider these files public domain. Share them at will! The only request I have are to a.) not sell the files themselves and b.) let people know you got them from RBO when sharing. :) Also if you're using these for your first knives, I'd love to be tagged on the socials so I can see your work!

    I have just tried replying to you twice and it takes me forever to type a message and was almost finished twice and got dumped from your post so here goes the third. I am 65yrs old and have been studying knife making for more than 2 years. My father was a tool and die maker and grew up building cars homes and anything interesting. My best friends family owns a chain of junkyards so I have a surplus of materials to start with. I choose a leaf spring and started to look for knife patterns to choose a style. To my surprise I couldn't find anyone that carried any. I decided to make a Bowie knife and drew a pattern myself. I have since cut it out but due to a landlord dispute I just moved to Florida to a place for myself. I just saw your post and think it's a great idea. I have not started grinding my knife but will when my place is set up. Glad I saw your post a will be joining you as soon as I figure out how. Lol. I will post some pictures as I go. Thanks a bunch 🙏
