Hey guys!
At last, I've finished my very first knife! It took me 8 days of getting a couple hours in before and after work with just moving into a new home. There's been A LOT to do besides making knives but I was able to get it done! And now that we're all settled in, I'll have a lot more time to spend in the shop!
I'm not going to get into specifications since this is my first attempt. It turned out better than I expected, but there are still too many imperfections to count.. all of which taught me what to do differently next time!
I jumped the gun and started taking pictures before sharpening.. it's late and I have to be up early so I'll get it on the stones tomorrow.
Feel free to give input whether its good or bad!
I also just finished heat treating a santoku profile today! And I'll be cutting out a Kramer inspired chefs knife tomorrow! I'm sure I'll be posting questions soon enough lol.
