Those look good. I especially like the middle one. A great utilitarian dssign.

That's my favorite too. Now I just got to fabricate up a belt grinder and make a few of those

I'm actually drawing up designs in class right now! But once I get down I'll throw them up here. Thanks for the help.

Do yourself a favour and pay attention in school. There is plenty of time to think about knives after class.

Haha well it was in welding class so I guess its ok.

I like the designs of the middle and right side knives. The one on the left could use some work. The choil looks to have a pointy edge that may be uncomfortable, the stacked pins in the middle of the knife don't look right. I think you should get rid of one of those pins. I'm not a fan of the lanyard hole position either.

Keep it up!

I really like the knife that has what appears to be a pattern of inverted pyramids. That pattern is very creative.

Pay attention in that welding class too. Good metallurgy info in there if your teacher is worth a toot. Plus, if you are a decent welder, work will constantly show up on your doorstep. Ask me how I know...

It is a skill that will give you either a fairly good career, or at least a little pocket cash for the rest of your life. Plus, when you can forge, machine, and weld, you can fix just about anything... Throw smelting into that resume and when the SHTF for the rest of civilization you'll be sh____ in high cotton.

Cheers.

I can weld all the processes quite well. Right now I'm focusing more on tig. Maybe weld some bolsters on.
