My little knife shop

[Rooster99]

Hello all,
I've been lurking and learning on this forum for about a year now. I love bladeforums and all the knowledge that you can find here. I've purchased knives and a grinder from fellow forum members and as of a few months ago finally started grinding. And I think it's time to post some pics of my work for knife people to critique. Sorry about the crappy pics. It seems like everyone here post really nice pictures. Possibly in the future I can do the same.

All knives are in pre heat treat phase and are made of CPM 154CM





Thanks again to all the forum members who post their knowledge and videos of this craft. It is much appreciated....

Nice knives. Are you doing the jimping by hand or have you found a grinding wheel that works - it is very well done.

Tim37a, thank you. I am a beginner but I try really hard to make my knives top quality. I use a checkering file (Grobet) by hand to do the jimping. Thanks for the support

Rooster99, that is a nice looking shop.... Simple yet still gives you the access you need for cranking out some nice steel!
What kind of grinder is that?

Dcmartin, thanks man. it is a Polar Bear Forge slightly modified with a 1 HP baldor motor. I purchased it used on the forum exchange.
