Here's a blade that I made up at Ken Onion's house, I have been working there as I have no room to set up my tools right now. I'm learning a lot from him. Any feedback is appreciated. Enjoy!:D

Looks like these images didn't load. How frustrating. Anyone have tips on uploading/posting images here as a registered user?

I'm getting a knifemaker membership for my b'day from my wife. Just have to await another 5 days and then this will be easy. Sorry guys.
 
You can resize the pic before uploading it. There is a thread with a couple links to picture resizing software that is free.

Here are the rest. Thank you JT custom knives in tandem with photobucket for resizing. I'm still having problems with a photo I really want to post, but oh well. Any way, the blade on this one is S30V, it's got nickel silver bolsters, S.S. corbys, and black linen Micarta, with a sheath that I built for it from good 10 oz. cowhide. 600 grit hand rubbed finish.
 
Nice looking knife. The coolest part of it is the making of it with Ken...you LUCKY guy!!!

A couple more pics. Yeah Phil, I feel REALLY fortunate to be able to hang around Ken's shop. He's a very knowledgable, very generous, and really nice guy as well as being a highly talented maker. I'm trying to treat my time there like school, making a priority of it and learning all that I can. Thanks Phil, Hickbob...
 
Great knife and what an opportunity to work with Ken Onion!
 
Salem,

I really love your work, you've got true knife-making talent. All the work on your web site is inspiring to a newer makers such as myself. Keep up the great work.

Bob,

P.S. Keep on posting pics of your knives....gives me inspiration to head out to the shop!
 
Thank you guys for such nice compliments. Anybody with criticisms feel free to step in, I like this one and it came out pretty clean, but looking at the design, it's not the most original knife one could make. Now that I have a camera again, Bob, I'll try to post more for sure.
