I know that I rarely post pics of knives that I "finish" because I usually end up a little disappointed or pissed off at them. I fully understand there is a significant "learning curve" (and for some of us, well for me anyway, that curve is pretty damn big) so I don't expect "perfection" by any stretch of the imagination, but there are always things about my knives that drive me absolutely crazy. I try to blame it on lacking tools or that the stars weren't aligned right but in reality it usually comes down to the fact that I try to go beyond my skill level (which can be a good thing, to a point) and don't know when to stop and accept that if I go any further I will not be able to improve it's current state. Sometimes I like to continue through, sometimes ruining the knife, just to try to learn something but usually it's because I'm trying to tweak something that rubs me raw.
