A few knives all with o-1 tool steel

Hi Folks,

A few knives I did... Keep in mind I only been knife making for a few months and love it!
Any tips and comments are welcome.
I do not have the best camera and lighting but it does the job for now.
Cheers!















Working on a Tanto point with paracord for the scales.
Thanks for your input and tips

The one that looks like Purple Heart is Padauk the chopper is black Walnut and the drop point style knife is Yellow Heart.
My first attempt at putting a bolster on a knife.... I counld't get that one pin to blend like the others any tips on that and why?
Thank's for the input.

Those are excellent knives!, keep up the good work.

 

Your headin down the right road. Keep it up.

 

Thank you Mr.Foster
I realy dig your knives, such smooth lines everything flows together.

 

Clean pins and clean holes and same material. The pin needs to expand into the hole with some serious force. Either peining or press.
Take a look at this from Cal:

Good effort on the grind lines for the recurve knife. I'd say for the few months you've come a long way.
