This is my first post here, so I fugured that I should show some of the knives that I have made in the past few months. They are nothing crazy, but my work has been improving.

Thanks for looking!

_____________________________________________________________

This is my first knife:
I forged it out of a lower carbon 1000 series steel
Not knife steel but it was my first

______________________________________________________________

This is the second knife that I made:
Also a forged blade but this one is 5160
Made from an old leaf spring out of a superlift lift kit
The scales are made from a wood that I found while camping
I cold forged this one at some point on accident and formed a weak spot. It cracked under heavy use.

______________________________________________________________

This is my third knife:
First time using the stock removal method
Made from O1 steel, 1/8" thick

For size comparison: that is a 3 1/2 lb axe that it is leanind against

______________________________________________________________

This is my latest knife:
I finished it today. Also a stock removal knife made of 1/8" O1

4" blade
1/8" thick O1 steel
Black and White spacers
Wenge scales
3/16" brass pins
8 1/4" OAL
Convex scandi - If ya know what I mean...

I see many improvements from knife to knife.
It is very exciting to see people pick up the passion for making knives, (or anything, really) and gratifying when they share their experience.
Thanks!
