Knife pics.... (warning! newbie)
This is a little fellow i finished last week. I know the lines don't "flow" but it feels darn good in the hands. It's 1095, I HT the thing with oxy/act torch and drawed in out in my toaster oven (thanks wayne goddard). The handle is Walnut that is finished with some Deft satin finish....

Good proportions between handle and blade. Lines could be messaged into a sexier shape on the next one without much changing the overall design.
Good early effort!

Looks great! On a knife meant to be used the fit in the hand and the way it cuts is worth more than looks. It wouldn't take much to improve the lines on this one, I don't think. I think if you drop the handle down a little bit behind the second finger groove it would have a nice gentle curve to it.

interesting to note, take some playdough or similar material and squeeze it in your hand then look at the impression it leaves for the finger grooves.

Thanks for the idea Blacknet, i think my daughter may have some modeling clay, and that'd be great..

I like it looks like it should be a good cutter to carry or for around the shop in the truck and so on . We all learn as we go

YES Blacknet! --playdough--!!!!
Another thing about the playdough, It will not come out of your hand straight either! It will have a gentle downward curve! ---Jon

modeling clay, the non-hardening type works just as well, way stiffer as well. In a pinch you could use flour and water, sand and water, salt and water. etc..
