Sorry but the pics don't seem to be working.
Don't give up on knifemaking though, its all about time in the shop and blowing money on tools, the rest is just a front

Those look real nice 
How about some details on the materials you use, and where you got the blades, maybe some dimensions?
You've got a good start, you ought to get a little O1 and try making a blade now too

They are definitely ok, and no, you shouldn't quit.
Thank you. O.K. - some info:
knife 1. blade - 11 cm, carbon steel, uuuu..... hand made by some gipsy, it was (I think) a spring from a russian "Volga" (the car from young comunists wet dreams). Good blade.
Handle - copper, bone, rosewood (not shure about the wood - I just like the texture)
overall length - 23 cm
knife 2. - blade - 9,5 cm, it's made by KJ (Sweden) carbon steel - I love it!
handle - silver with black epoxy filling, walnut (painted with red permanent drawing ink - "Rotring")
overall length - 21 cm
For this knife I'm still making the sheath - puukko stile
knife 3. blade - 9 cm, all I know is, that it is some sort of stainless, very good, hand made in city of Kostenec - I love this place - in 10 people 7 are knifemakers!!!! Scary place.
handle - copper, brass, stag, black plastic spacer, rosewood (again not shure)
overall length - 19 cm
.................. I'm tired from so much writing. By the way - 1 inch is about 2,54 cm.
Thanks again for your support - it gives me the strenght to go forward.
