Finally, my two first knives! Thank you everyone!
I finally took some pictures of my two first knives!
After 1 year of assiduous reading (books, magazines and forums) and several fingers burned, scratched, sanded and cuted, I produced my first knives... I want to thank all those which answered my questions and with all those which take part so generously in this forum! These two knives were make with a small homemade 1" x 42" belt grinder and, especially, with much patience... Alain Miville-Desch?nes alainmd@videotron.ca  My first knife specifications: Blade steel: O-1 Blade length: 3" Total length: 6.25" Handle: Blackwood Pins: Stainless steel Grind: Hollow Hardness: 60-61 Rockwells, selective heat treat   My second knife specifications: Blade steel: O-1 Blade length: 2.75" Total length: 5.5" Handle: Cocobolo Pins: Brass Bolster: Brass Grind: Hollow Hardness: 60-61 Rockwells, selective heat treat Case: Brasilian Mahogany

Excellent!!!!
Your knives are amazing first-time efforts, and you did your homework on your pictures as well. I love the simplicity and style of that top one, too. It's a hit!

I hate you guys with great first knives...
Makes me wanna weep, crawl into a corner, throw away my knives. Just kidding ! Beyond a great effort, that is a great result ! Very clean, crisp work. Betcha a lot of hand work went into those. Keep it up, we want to see more. Cheers.
