My latest knife I have been working on. I've been messing around with making knives for about a month and a half now. This one is still in the works. Wood needs to be stained and finished and blade needs to be sharpened. Let me know what you think and any recommendations are always appreciated as I grow in my skill.
Thanks a lot,
Luke

Tools: 4x36 belt sander
Homemade grill forge
Lots of TLC :)

I have only been at this for about 3 years and have only made about 20 knives, so I am no expert. The handle work is outstanding for only a month, very nice work. All the pins are not something that appeals to me, but very nice craftmanship, especially with all the pieces that handle has. Overall the blade shape is good. I like mine just a little more pointy, again a matter of preference. The plunge and top grind seem to just blend in and be rounded. If you could make those a little more crisp this thing would look awsome.

However for only doing this for a month and a half I would give you 5 gold stars, Very well done. now go make another as they say.
 
It has one coat of stain on it but isn't sealed with anything else yet. I still have to finish the stain and tru-oil the handle. Thank you very much for your thought!
