TacticallySharp and Cojab, thanks for the comments. I am still trying to get the hang of it, but learning more on each one!

Well here are the last three I have completed. A EDC, hawk and Kiridashi. Since I really started getting into knives a few years ago, some of the first makers I became huge fans of were Al Polkowski and Daniel Winkler, especially Al Polkowski's Neck Knives and Daniel Winkler's Hawks, so you...
