Haven't been on in awhile, but I just started up on Instagram and Facebook for my knife making SALES CONTENT REMOVED It's a great feeling, and any tips or advice is much appreciated from you veteran makers.

I love working with rasp. This is my last one . Still needs more buffer time.
My cousin's husband was a farrier for many years and she wanted a knife for his Christmas gift.
I H.T. it like 1095 and tempered twice at 425 for 2 hours .
Holds a good edge through the testing I've done .
I did the same thing on Facebook a couple of years ago and now I'm over a year out on my waiting list.

You can't talk about sales, selling, etc. in Shop Talk, or most other areas, without a Knifemaker or higher membership level. I edited the sales info from your post.

As far as the knives, the shapes are OK, but the edge and main bevel seem far too obtuse. I prefer forging the rasps/files to shape and then grinding in the bevels. This makes a less "Knife shaped rasp" look. If you want the teeth you be bold and unaltered, grind a bevel like Bo did.

I also don't personally like the over forced patina look. To me it looks like a corroded knife.

There are lots of folks with tastes different from mine, so take my comments as suggestions, not rules.
