Recommendation? First knife

[Daddyyz]

I have been wanting to get into knife making / blade smithing for a long time now and finally made my first blade. It was stock removal 1095 and it was so satisfying to make it. Since then have bought an anvil and started practicing on some railroad spikes to practice hammer work. The most frustrating part for me so far has been my bevels. Please give me some feedback, any input will help me be better.

Also how do you post a pic ?

You have to host the image on a webpage like imgur.com, then link it here. I personally deal with bevel grinding by using a combined angle and plunge jig.
