I just finished my 13th knife, so now I'm going to try and post a photo.  If this works, then I'll try more photos.  All my knives at this stage are built using pre-made blanks.

Thanks for the comments guys.  My son is acting as the quality control department and is not afraid to tell me when I need to fix something.  :knothead:  

I spent almost a week last Christmas reading the info on this site, and was really struck by the comaraderie and willingness to provide tips, guidance and share info. I spent the next 5 months gathering materials and lurking on the site until I joined. Really enjoying all aspects of knife making.  Many thanks again to all of you.  :notworthy:    :notworthy:
cheers, Dale

When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

Very nice stuff. Are you doing your own sheaths as well?

Karl, you're right to a point as Lin's knives and WIP's did have a significant impact, but you're not entirely blameless yourself.  :readit:    :D  

Nathan, yes, I am making my own sheaths. When I first started them, they were almost taking as long as the knife handles.
cheers, Dale

Looking good Dale.
The sheaths look like you've been working leather for years.
