Hello everyone. I am new to the crazy knife making world. I have always loved knives since i was a small boy and have recently started to make a few blades. Here are some pics of my first ever. I made it for my wife and she really seemed to like it. ( its on a shelf in our living room! Lol) feel free to critique, good or bad. It is a 1095 steel i heat treated myself. It has california buckeye burl for the handle and a full flat grind. Well, at least my best flat grind i can do as of now lol. One thing im struggling with is the sanding right next to the ricasso. I just ran it up to a 400 grit and stopped as i liked the look there. Any advice at the ricasso area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and god bless!!
