Well finished my first two knives. I know they are not anywhere near the quality on this forum but i'm proud of them. I have learned more what not to do making these. Anyway thanks for looking and any suggestions would be appreciated (I have thick skin so you won't hurt my feelings).

Chopit,
Those are really nice for your first knives. Of course there are tons of great knives here on this forum but everyone has their "firsts" and I'm sure yours are just as good as any others. Yours are better than my first knives. Can you tell us more about them? Steel? handle materials? Thanks for sharing and I hope you post some more of your work.
 
Chopit , you should be proud of those for sure . I'm NOT a knife maker , but I think you did a good job . Especially if they are your first ones . Nice work :thumbup:

The steel is a random pattern billet from Alabama damascus. The first knife is 6 3/4" long the blade is 3 3/4" the handles are claro walnut. The notch in the back of the handle is right where it sits on my little finger. Ill see how it cuts next week I'm gonna gonna go shoot some hogs on my friends place. The tanto is 8 1/2" a 4 1/2" blade with fake antique ivory. Its 1/4" thick you could pry a door open easily. My dad likes tanto style blades I think I'm gonna give it to him. I got a push dagger and straight razor roughed out right now. I also just bought some 1095 from Aldo so I'm ton a have a bunch of 1095 questions soon. Guys at work want some bushcraft type knives. I just got my coote grinder set up. I did those two knives above on a roybi 4x36 to rough them out and everything else by hand. I roughed out the straight razor on the coote, man it is nice having the right tools for the job. It took me an hour to do what would have took me a week before.
 
You should be proud. Stick with it as you show talent. Continue to post up your knives here.
