my 1st knife

all i can tell you here is from one newbie to another very nice work the new one is on it gunsone
 
FINALLY! After all the grinding, sanding and sandblasting. I have discovered my own and I must say very effective way to make tiger stripes on the blade. YAAAAY!

some new pictures and my attempt at making a busse inspired blade shown in 2nd and 3rd picture.

No worries if its a "trade secret" I was just curious.

I wouldn't have been able to do what I can without all the info generously given for free on here.
 
Strong - Looks good. You clearly have the "eye" for design and your skills seem to be very adept. I say keep developing and maybe we'll see you in the makers section, selling your wares.

Keep it up.

My first three tacticals, one of which is newly finished-almost tanto blade design, and the same knives as above with cord wrapped handles.

Those are your first knives?! They are awsome! I definatley like the changed design of your first knfe, quite alot too.
 
I'm IMPRESSED! Great job, and re-do.
As one who slices left handed, I like the left chisel grind. Great for following a straight-edge, marking tool, etc. Is the back (flat side) absolutely flat? If not, I'd lap it flat to get the best edge.
 
Peanuts- yea my first three... I will agree on the change up of #1-much better design now

Doctad- I used a magnet to hold the blade as level to belt sander as I could... "Absolutely level"? Not sure, but close enough for a "first knife"... I’m glad you enjoy the pictures... I haven’t been able to spend as much time on the grinder as I wanted too in the past few weeks... so in my not so much spare time I have made about 10 or so sketches or "blueprints" that have become popular and I look forward to some highly anticipated grinding
 
I left the house today and headed for the grinder.. after accidentally leaving my sketches at the house I was forced to use chalk stick a freehand my idea of a karambit on a slab of rusty steel and here is what i came up with...

ran out of grommets and didn't have a setter so I made one.. which resulted in a few cracked ones which can be seen on the bigger sheath.
 
5.7 is the way to go! 21rds ready to go, extremely accurate, armor piercing capability. Downsides- lack of accessories IE aftermarket sites, holsters etc. oh i cant forget its the ugliest gun i have ever owned. Starting to grow on me more.
 
Yea, I probably could. Ill try to put a few things together and place them in the "for sale area" on the forum. Honestly I need a bit more practice before ill sell anything to anyone with my name on it. check back often ill post plenty of news on this thread.
