My first handmade knife!

[Murphys Law]

Hello folks.
I just finished my first handmade knife.
It was a long process, but I liked it and I will definitely build more blades in the future

Specs:
Length: 17,2cm (about 6 3/4 inches)
Bladelength: 7,2cm (a tad under 3 inches)
Steel: SB1 1/8" in thickness
Hardness: 60 Rockwell (Thanks to Jürgen Schanz )
Grind: Chiselgrind, left side.
Scales: Ghost-Green G10 with black liners
Finish: Stonewash
Pins: Stainless Steel

I added some filework to the spine.

Have to apologize for the bad pics.

Congrats, man. Have you tried it out on anything yet?

 

[Murphys Law]

Thanks for the warm words everybody!

It has already sliced some stuff in my apartment (still got to get a kydex sheath made for carrying it).
And I have to say, the pizza box didn't stand a chance

Cool looking knife. Never heard of that type of steel before. How does it perform?

Very nice for first blade!

Thanks everyone!

The steel is some stainless stuff. Juergen Schanz from Germany (http://www.schanz-messer.de/) uses it for almost all of his knifes and even machetes, so I figured "why not try this?"

It sharpens really REALLY slow, seems to be tough stuff. Should hold a good edge.

Best,
Murphys Law.

Really cool knife, especially for a first. Everything about this knife makes me think "rugged" Good job.
