hi everyone! i've been lurking here on and off for awhile. Been making knives for a couple years for myself and friends, and recently got talked into selling some. so of course the first place I thought of was here. this first one is my new hunting knife, 52100 from 5/8" round bar using the heat treat in ed fowlers videos, brass guard, and homade micarta.

these are the first I'd like to put on the for sale section tommorow after I touch them up and add sheaths. they are forged from old leaf springs, edge quenched, with hardwood handles

what do you think? did I put the images on right? how about a pricing guide? I know they are good blades, I tested them for cutting ability, edge flex, tip strenth, and such before I put finishes, guards and handles on them, but I am an unknown, so they should be priced accordingly.

Thanks for you time and help.

They look nice. I'm not a huge fan of guards, but see the value add for some uses. Bringing the cutting edge back to the guard might be an idea. Good work!
