Just finished my first knife today.
Well, I just finished my first knife. I may end up going back and fixing a few things that are bugging me about it. Let me know what you think. Here it is and don't mind the eraser.
0.112" O-1 @ 60 rockwell
Blade length- 2.8"
OAL- 6.7"
Handle is cocobolo Dymondwood, red linnen micarta with brass
Thanks for looking!

Also the contrast of handle choice looks cool

Nicely done Ilija.
Couple a more on that 1x30 out of O1, and you'll be studying the earlier threads below about grinders.
