My First Custom Knife

This is my first effort at custom knifemaking. It is a 6 1/2" stock removal knife in a mystery steel I picked up. After quenching, a 55 file skates, and a 60 barely scratches. The handles are walnut from a tree Hurricane Helene brought down last year. Last step is to put an edge on it.

GREAT looking knife, Tony
Love the size and the blade geometry
The handle looks comfortable and well-balanced, too. Nice job

Great looking start to your custom knifemaking adventures, Tony! Nice & Sleek design as I would have expected from one of your knives.
