Hi everybody
I think this my first post here, so I would like to say "Hello". I'm a hobbyist knifemaker?/handlemaker from Poland. I make knives from few years, but usually I use blades from other makers and I make handles and scabbards myself. I make knives for re-enactors mostly, especially for Vikings and Slavs, and other knives, like scandis (I like this type of knives), so I wolud like to show few of my works:
Viking/Slavic knives:

Looks to me like you are very good at your "hobby" - nice work. The handle carving is very impressive indeed.

Welcome, Very nice clean work Robert. I am liking that bowie style knife in the 5th image. Thanks for posting
 
Really great handles, very impressive. It looks like we have what appears to be a superior carver here. Welcome!
 
You are obviously very talented.
Display stands, knives, sheaths, carving all well done.

The first is my favorite.
