finally finished my first knife

[Bama]

It took a while and some help but I'm 95% finished I would like to polish some more of the scratches, CPM 154 steel, Amboyna Handle, full tang, about 9" long

Not a bad first effort at all. It would be interesting to see more pics after you've done the final cleanup.

It has a lot of uneven area's I learned a lot on this knife I have several more started. I built a 2"x72" grinder but most of this knife was done with files and sandpaper a local knifemaker helped me with the hollow grind with his grinder. and taought me several other things.

Nice job on your first knife.

Looks good, and I agree that it would look better with a higher polish.

Looks very good man. The handle is very cool. I think I will use Amboyna wood for my next one.
