December 24, 200916 yr Hello all. Its has been a while since I have been in and I thought I would show my first attempts a knife making. I forged these three knives from O-1 steel. Handles are from stabilized maple. Thoughts on how to improve is always welcome.
December 30, 200916 yr Author Well its a bad picture. They have a mirror finish and I did not notice the pictures were that poor until after I had already gave them away for Christmas gifts. I will see if I can get my hands on one of them and get a better picture.

January 5, 201016 yr The blades look good indeed! The handles are a bit clunky looking with the lovely curves on the blades putting more curves, "organic" looking handles would be super---and you're using really nice material for the handles too! (I might try to make that finger curve on the blade able to open bottles for one for myself...but that's a dangerous thing mixing bottles and blades!)

I agree the handles kicked my rear. So if you have time feel free to expand on the comment I could sure use the help.
