Made my first knife!

[Marshall Customs]

Hello all, I'm new to knife making and have been getting tools and supplies for the last month. Here are pics from my first knife completed!
Some pics suck because my flip phone doesn't take good pictures, but I got a new camera for Christmas so some are good!

O1 Steel
5 Inch Blade
Sabre Grind (attempted)
G10 Scales
Stainless Pins
Finished with 400 grit sandpaper

Heres the design:





















This was made with all hand tools and a drill and took 20 hours about... now I have a belt grinder haha, never again!

Not bad for your first attempt. Nice clean lines and a no-nonsense design. Have you thought about putting a lanyard hole in the design?

I thought about it, but I had a lanyard on my ESEE 4 and hated it! This knife is for me so it's not a big deal. I have 2 more knives now without them being made but I'll start adding some for sure!
