<\/a><\/p>\nThe piece of holly I started with was fairly thick \u2013 so after cutting out a knot

I\u2019ve wanted a set of wooden kitchen knives for a while now. All the training blades I have ever run across were all patterned after crazy blades meant for poking holes in, or cutting, other people; basically large combat or hunting blades. <\/p>\n
For knife work, I figure that if I ever have to defend myself form a knife attack, it is way more likely that my attacker will be using a weapon of opportunity than pulling out some crazy combat or hunting knife. Conversely, kitchen knives seem like a good pattern to practice basic knife attacks \u2013 as they are easily found most homes. So I am making a set of kitchen patterned training knives. <\/p>\n
I started with some holly that I had harvested a few years ago. <\/p>\n
