My first knife

You can see at a steep angle down the plane of the ricasso making a mirror-like reflection causing the appearance of a gap but its not.

Just saying. Carry on.:thumbup:

Oh, I see what people are talking about know. :o You're right about it looking like that because of the reflection at that angle. :thumbup: I'll have to watch out for that in the future.

I'm pretty close to finishing up my next two. They won't be sharpened until after I make sheaths but otherwise they are pretty close to done.

This one is my attempt at a little edc.

This design came about when I was trying to figure out how large of a blade I can fit on a fairly compact handle. I think that the answer to that question is less blade than I have here. :p

I don't know about anyone else but that looks great to me.:thumbup:
 
Don't be too hard to yourself, it's agreat piece of work. almost fall in love with it at the first sight:) stunning job.
 
I finished up another one. I have a few more that just need to be cleaned up and sharpened but they are pretty oddly shaped and I'm not at all happy with them. :( The good news is that I have a much better idea of what to shoot for on my next knives. :)

That one is a really nice one too. I really like the lines and would be proud to make that or buy it and use it. The handle shape looks really comfortable and nicely shaped. The cocobolo is a nice touch too.

Keep 'em coming. :thumbup:
 
Another great looking knife. Shape seems OK to me but I would make one suggestion. If it were a knife for me I would want the handle to be a little bigger, seems slightly too small for the blade size. A "fatter" handle would, I think, offer a better grip. Other than that, feel free to put it in a box and send it to me. :)
 
What Gaj said. Still a real beauty, though, and a whole lot nicer thn anything I ever made (which isn't saying much).
 
I can't believe that's your first one, it is awesome! Keep on doing this, you got talent there!
 
You did a great job on that one. You should see the first one I made.:D Took me 17 hours just to profile it. I think about a month to finnish. All that work and it was still ugly LOL. Good luck on your next one.
 
I know my first or next bunch were not near as nice as that one.It's a well made knife no matter it's your first completed one !!! Good for you !!! Frank
 
Thanks guys. :thumbup: :D

I thought about making an etcher but I'm pretty worthless when it comes to anything electrical so I'll probably buy a machine when I can get the money together. I've already ordered a stencil from Ernie Grospitch who was very nice to deal with.
