Take a look.

Still making some pretty newb mistakes, but also turning out some decent working knives. Trying very hard not to take my plunges all the way up, but I find this easier said then done.

Let me know what you think, all thoughts are welcome.



First, this pair in 1/8' O1 with Cocobolo Scales, brass pins, and leather.

The smaller one is just shy of 5 1/2", with 2.5" of blade. The in pocket sheath didn't turn out as pretty as I would have liked, but works pretty good.

The larger one is 7 3/4" with 3.5" blade.

Then I made this in 1/8" O1 with purpleheart scales and stainless pins.
I left the blade with an etched finish, the temperline is visible.

Then this one in 1/8" 1080, my first attempt at a hamon. Failed, but the blade still shows an interesting temperline, so I put some Pan amarello Scales on with stainless pins. Tried out a different style of contour with a swell further back in the hand. Its chunky, but it feels great.
