My first real attempt at knifemaking!

Hey guys I'm kind of new member here but been snooping for a while. I have a small collection of mainly CRKs but I've been bit by the knife making big. I have a KMG style grinder and I've ground out close to 15 blades out of scrap metal till I was somewhat comfortable with it. This knife I made now is a piece of s35vn that I had heat treated and cryo'd by Texas knife makers supply. The handles are black ash burl with brass bolsters. Look at the pics and tell me what your thinking!

Looks like the practice paid off, that's a really nice first knife. Keep it up!

I think that's a fine looking knife, nice work.

Thanks guys. Don't have a good camera so it's hard to see real well but the blade is 600 grit satin finish.
