A few of my knives

[andybill]

Hey everyone, I've been keeping an eye on this forum and figured it was time to share some of my work.
These knives are all forged from 1084. They're all flat ground, with a convex edge. Sorry I don't have any shots that show the grinds, I'll have to take some in the future.
All comments are welcome, thanks.
Also, this is my first time linking from photobucket, my apologies if the pics are the wrong size

wow man! beautiful knives. hows the balance on them? that top one is just gorgeous. what woods and pin materials are you using? thuya burl and ebony or blackwood? more pictures in the future please.

I dont know what wood the top one is made from, but it was stabilized. Maybe maple burl? I got it at Mace Vitale's hammer-in last fall. The middle one is african blackwood, and the bottom is bolivian rosewood with blackwood bolsters and red liners. The pins are brass on the top two and copper on the bottom.
The balance on all of them is about half an inch in front of the handle.
Thanks!
