This is the first knife that i ever made. Lengh of the knife is 9 inc and the stock thickness is 0.172.
It is full flat grind CPM S30V at 60-61 HRC.
Handle is made from alder root, water buffalo horn and vulcanized fiber.
The handle is riveted together and is glued with epoxy resin. Is impregnated with apricot nut oil and bees wax. The little scull is made from onyx stone.

Very Impressive! I can't wait to see what the coming knives will look like. WOW!
 
Very nice for the first one. It has class and flair but you jumped on the high performance wagon right from the start. Great move!
 
That may be your first knife, but I'll bet a cold refreshing beverage of your choice that you have prior machining experience, or something like it. ;) Either that or you are extremely blessed. Regardless, it's very very nice and you're off to a great start! :thumbup:
 
Great job! what kind of grinder/tools did you use to make it? like Silver said awesome knife for the 1st or 100th!!
 
great first knife. Looks good.

But is it me or does the grind look a little uneven in he fouth pic? Still, great none the less.

I think it would have to be a different piece, I was trying to call attention to it in case the OP intended to keep a series of photos for the same piece of steel.

EDIT: I know my picture files kinda start looking all the same when you photo the same type of stuff over and over.
