My first attempt to actually craft a knife

[Triforge]

I decided to try to make a double hollow ground razor

so what do you think? keep in mind this hasn't been heat treated or finished yet.

Interesting design. What will you be using it for?

That's a neat idea for a first knife. Grinding looks pretty nice and even, especially for a first project. What is the steel?
I'll be interested to hear how it shaves!

Most likely a razor, I have high enough grit whetstones

I'm pretty sure it's just 440C, the thickness is .125

Nice. 440C is a good choice for this type of project since it polishes so well.

Don't have any polishing belts though… However! After I get it back from trugrit heat treating, I'm sending it over to Charlie Mike/FTWCM to be featured on his channel, gonna make micarta handles for it
