A few of my first handmade knives.

Wow, I love the look of these knives, they're really cool and I can't wait to see what you'll be making in the future! Did you acid etch that pattern on the bowie? :)

Thank you so much for your comment. The Bowie was made from a rasp/file so it already looked like that. I just ground it out and did the heat treat on it. I've used the heck out of it & it's held up really well.

Respect that you are making your own! Just something to keep in mind, although the triangular notches look cool, you might want to be aware they increase the local stress by a factor of 3 which makes them "break here" features (even on a thick spine) you want a larger full radius at the bottom of each.

Keep up the good work!
