Roger, your blades aren't that bad. Yes, there's a thing here and a thing there that could be tweeked a little, except for that kitchen knife which looks fine, but to produce a presentable knife the first time out is better than most of us do. I still hide my first knife; it's nice though to run into it in the back of the drawer to see how much progress I've made. No one has the inborne knowledge of how to make knives. It's a study; we learn from each blade that we make and we slowly add to our skills. Keeping knife making as a hobby has it's advantages. We can work at our own speed and we can work on the knives that we want to work on and , when we do well, we can sell a knife or two to pay for our obcession.
