2nd completed knife

[JAG]

Hey Dogs! So this is my 2nd completed knife. I have ground 8 blades total and have 5 more on the bench that I have heat treated. I destroyed my 2nd blade by over grinding while trying to even it out
I really tried to make the time this week to get out in the shop after work. I highly recommend it I made a couple of mistakes on this knife but learned a lot along the way. I still need a little touch up and I need to etch the blade but I feel pretty good about this one.
It is O1, White paper Micarta, Black liners and mosaic pin. I was trying to find a decent way to finish the knife without a buffer and I used a Scotch Bright belt. I am pretty pleased with the finish but it doesn't photograph well!
Let me know what you guy's think!2thumbs

Thanks guy's! The heat treat was done at a friends shop who has a converted kiln that works great for O1. I hope to try and build a heat treat oven as that would really speed things up being able to heat treat and move on. Right now I had to try and grind several blades and work it out with his schedule to get them done.
This one is Flat ground. Funny thing, I thought I wanted to do Hollows but have only done Flats! I like the Flats! Who knew!
The other knives are different designs than this one, I will post pics as I move along, Thanks guy's! I appreciate the comments!
