Finally, my first 2 knives - pic heavy

Fantastic stuff for just your first ones. Like mrp was leading to, I thought you were a machinist or something. Some of these design elements are pretty complex.
 
Full flat grind. Just the edge is convex...thanks to master Hossom! If I could figure out how to hollow grind, I'd do that with a convex edge. Lots to learn....

Well you're ahead of me in the game. I started a cpl months ago and and have an unfinished first knife.
Made micarta for it too. Just haven't found the time to finish it.

Hope it finishes up close to yours :D
 
Man I like them, Congrats. I have had some projects on the back burner but 3 years!!! Hehe still thanks for sharing.
 
Wow those are slick, I really like em!

Very nice for your first few knives, my first impression was that your a machinist too!
 
Appreciate all the kind thoughts. There is one design issues that I think merits critique. Maybe I should start another thread and perhaps I will but I'll pursue it here for now. For example, I've seen other integral's that have the bolster like mine but then the blade grind has a traditional plunge slightly toward the point where mine has the bolster and plunge at the same place and looks like a full flat grind or some might concur that I ground through the spine when it was intentional to thin the blade. I am interested in critical comments and suggestions. Keep in mind I'm working with .25 CPM3v, OAL 8.5, 4" blade length, .75 to 1" blade width.

Comments appreciated.
