I hope I am posting this in the correct place...
Hello everyone! This is my first post here on the forum. My name is Jeremy, and I just got started with knife making about 3 months ago. So far, I love it!
I've been "lurking in the shadows" for quite some time now, just taking in all the information I can from all the talented people posting on this site. I figured it's about time to post a picture of my current work in progress.
As the title says, this is my third knife (actually, it's more like my 6th blade, but only the third one I feel is good enough to have a handle put on it).
It is made from 1/8" 1084 steel from New Jersey Steel Baron. I know many of you are not a fan of the Karambit, but I just think they look cool! This blade will be getting a paracord-wrapped handle in flat Dark Earth.
I do not have a belt grinder or a band saw, so all my shaping was done with a hacksaw, angle grinder, bench grinder, and files. I just completed the HT and tempering last night. I wanted to give the hamon a try, so I figured, why not? Pictured below is the result right after tempering. Let me know what you think so far! I am open to all comments and constructive criticism. I hope to get this sanded, etched, and wrapped this weekend.
