nice style.
what size are we looking at.

A nickle for reference. Also pictured is my second knife, still needs a little work. I'm going with a scotch brite finish instead of the mirror polish. I get the shape by cutting the lawn mower blade with a torch after tracing a blank, then use a belt sander and hand sanding to finish.

 

[jdracing]

they both look great to me.
if those are only your first 2,then you gonna be making
some really cool stuff before long.
not that those 2 aren't.
i'm just saying,

Thanks for all the comments. The smaller one is oak and the large one is deer antler.
