Thumbs up First knife

I am new to the site and also to knife making. I began by making spike knives. This is my first attempt at making a blade and handle. The blade is out of a leaf spring. The handle is deer antler and cherry.

That looks great. Keep up the good work.
I am also new to this and I'm interested in forging spikes also. I would like to see more of your work.

I am experimenting with 5160 and old files at the moment. As well as various spike knives. Good job, keep it up.

You are coming to it. Handle work is good. Just need to keep on making knives till you get where you want to be.

congrats
