Below a mature knife maker first knives

[coachcampana]

So I watched a ton of YouTube videos and came up with a pile of crap knives. Then I bought some decent steal and went to town.I made a couple friction folders and some full tang knives. They will be groomsmen gifts. I played with a few handle materials. Kirinite, wood and micarta. I used 440c stainless and had a local machine shop heat treat and precision grind them for me. I do have a few crummy mistakes in a couple of them, but still learning.
They are sharp enough to shave with, my left arm is now hairless. I need to just test them on paper from now on.

Fyi, that last polished knife is 1/4 inch. Its like a giant wedge.
