A couple of my first knives

Finally brave enough to post a couple of pictures of some knives I made. The small one is a caping knife designed by a taxidermist I know, the second is a heavy duty knife made from 5160 with a nickel silver guard and black palm handle.

Both look really good.The only thing i would have done different is shorten the guard
up on the second one.

God bless,Keith
 
They both look good but I have to agree with Keith about the guard on the utility knife. I would also work the bevels back on the caping knife so that it will have better geometry for slicing. Something like that is not going to do any chopping so you could get by with a finer edge than you can with something that might do some chopping.
