I was browsing the YouTubes and came across some knife making videos and thought to myself, "Those are really neat! I've gotta try that!" So I purchased this particular knife blade/blank (http://knivesandknifemaking.com/pro...rop_point_6_12in_wbrass_guard_bolster_013.php). Went to my local hardwood dealer, picked up some BEAUTIFUL Ipe, drilled some 3/16th holes for new pins and made myself my very first knife. Tell me what y'all think and what you guys think I could do to improve! Thank y'all in advance. (I couldn't find any info regarding the steel in the info on the site other than that it's stainless. I assume It's either 420C or 440C due to it's magnetism which i read only the 400 series is magnetic)





 
Nice work on mounting and shaping the handle! The next step is making the blade...:D

You might get more feedback if you post this in the Knifemaker's section of the forums. Perhaps if you ask a moderator nicely they'll move it over there for you.

Clean work!
