Nice. You can always start big and grind it down if your pins aren't in the way and you keep things cool. Looks good!

Interesting read. I think 1/8" thick is fine but I prefer .160". The steel you have will be fine. With your design, you may want to make the rear of the handle slightly taller, especially the top. And then when shaping the scales, sand the rear skinnier than the front 2/3. I feel like taller and...

Thank you very much guys!

Interesting Jess, thanks

I saw you mentioned something about it on FB, what is it?

Thank you guys!

Dyed maple but good guess.

Nice work! You avoided many mistakes that many first knives possess. I especially like the bevel hight and the shape of the edge profile.

Those look good Darren. I notice that the plunge/choil areas are slightly different. Probably the only reason I noticed is because I often have a hard time deciding how I'm going to do them. Do you have a preference or any insight?

Nice one. Good job!

He is super proud of it. He took over a hundred pictures of it with my phone on his own. He has seen me use my light box to take pictures but I usually don't get too creative but he knew how and where to set the knife up from the knife books that are stored in his room. Another neat thing was...
