That is a good start.  The more you practice the better you get.

Thanks guys. I figured I'd give it a try rather than using Helle blades to make some knives. Took a bit of practice. A number of useless pieces of steel on my work bench now.

I use a disc/belt grinder to gring the shape and a Bader grinder for the blade bevel.

The top knife, third knife down, and last knife are 440c stailess, the other two are ATS34 stainless. The scales are all stabilized, from top to bottom are spalted box elder burl, spalted birch, amboyna burl, amboyna burl, and afzeilia burl. I just wanted to make knives with all around functional blades that feel good in the hand.

Cool, thanks for sharing!
