Hey everybody ! I've been lurking here for sometime now, and the bug has bitten me hard ! These are my first two knives, sorry for the poor quality pictures. Both are 1/4" O-1, flat ground with tapered tangs. OAL 8.5".
The handles are black linen micarta and olive canvas micarta, with black fiber liners. The heat treat was done by Rob at knifemaker.ca. I'd like to thank everyone on bladeforums, especially my friend Stuart Branson, for their inspiration and wealth of information ! I hope to have many more in the future to share ! Thanks for looking.

It looks as though you have found your calling, I look forward to seeing many more of your knives.

Awesome man! You definitely put in the time and effort to learn and it shows.
Those are very nice pieces. Make a balisong!

I'll probably be asking you questions in the near future bout knife making.
 
Like the deisgn as well. Have you thought about something a little bigger like this?

I have a larger version of these at my place for sheath work. I will finish the sheath up this weekend. It's similar to these but larger with more belly and the handle is Padauk with Wenge liners.
It's awfully nice!
 
Thanks so much everybody ! I'm overwhelmed with the positive response.
The lousey last couple of days at work have been totally forgotten now ! (the six pack of Piper's helped too...) Alman123, I'll be making a few more in the next couple of weeks, one S30V (wish me luck !).
Have a great weekend everyone !

Very nice, I put my first two in a box on a shelf hidden from all. It's amazing how little everything else matters when your working on a knife.
