without more detailed pictures, I would say that they are excellent. I would work on sharpening your plunges, but that is about it.

Thanks for the kind words...and yes you are right about the plunges. Truth is I dont own a grinder yet and these were done with files and sandpaper. After these 2 its definitely the next tool on the list....

Looks like you put a lot of time and work into those.
I'm no expert at knife making, But I think they are
excellent for your first two knives.
I look forward to your future efforts.
Merry Christmas!!!

What a nice first 1 knives. That is a lot of work with just files and sandpaper. When you get a grinder you will be amazed at how fast you can actually get work done.

Thanks Joseph and Merry Christmas to you as well.....and I recently used a grinder at a friends shop AVigil and realized i probably could have made 5 in the time it took me to make my first....lol.. Very soon i will invest in a decent grinder and post the results....thanks

I think they look great for first, or tenth knives.. definitely better than my first efforts I like the curve in the handle too.

I like them. They look well made. Can you give us more details please? Steel type, heat treatment, size, etc.
