Finally some of my work...
I want to take a moment to thank everyone on this forum for all your help, a special thanks goes out to Ray, who has taken the time to answer everyone of my questions no matter how stupid I felt, he took the time to explain stuff. There are several others that have also taken the time to answer questions and I say thank you to them. My work is still very very beginner but I am learning with each knife I do. For those of you who remember, my first was the letter opener ( I put a picture of it when I was working it, and one finished, then I have 3 that are almost ready for HT (sending out) and one That is just shaped. All but the letter opener are .188 thick 440c stainless. Like I said, these are very very beginner, but I am still proud and wanted to thank you all for your help.

Oh yea, any helpful remarks would be greatly appreciated, on the one with only one hole in it, still needs holes and I think I'm gonna try a bolster as I started by blade to far up (first time using a jig I made)

Looks like you have a good start on those blades. It will be interesting to see them finished.

I agree! Those look great so far and it will be interesting to see them finished. You will keep learning with each and every blade you make. I know I am still
