Here are some pictures of my first knife i have been working on. i did this with a angle grinder, dremel, and a file. i realy like the design I came up with. now my plan is to smooth out all the face's with a smaller file. I was wondering what everybody else thought, and if any of you experts could point out any problems i might run into, and tips for heating, do I leave the handle above the water line? do I swirl it in the oil, or hold it still? how soon after do I need to temper it?
any input is appreciated thanks.
