Hi every body !!!!!!! OK so I finished my first forged knife and also my first flat grind, This is my 5th knife . It is 7 3/8" long the blade is 3 1/8" long and 1 1/4" wide ,Its steel is made by my POPS but forged by me it is 1095-15n20 damascus ,the handle is black & red box elder with brown spots in it .the tubes are 1/4" SS. This was lots of fun but Hot and hard work,flat grinding takes longer than I thought and is harder than I thought to get it just right,but it sure makes the knife sharp and lighter,also I tapered the tang.OK so #6 coming up "LOL" ,trying to talk POPs into a bowie next but he's stuck on me doing small ,I need some help guys tell him to let me do a BOWIE,or a sword Please "LOL". This knife is going to be gift to someone

That's only your 5th knife??? I'm jealous, I've done 10 & they don"t quite look that good. Keep it up, you'll be an amazing maker soon.
 
bloody hell, that knife looks so good. the handle material is awesome. it looks good together with the damascus. great job, i wish is had the time, space and money to make my own customs... ah well, some day perhaps...
