Three knives

I sorta kinda maybe thought I'd give away the knifemaking for a while, but then decided I wanted a couple of knives which had edges that curved quite gradually up to the point, and without a protruding guard (top two in the image). Also found a blank with a 4 finger-groove handle which I thought I may as well assemble.

All are L6 carbon steel.

Top: untapered tang, wenge handle, overall length 236 mm, blade 113 mm (have used this knife a couple of times, I still have all my fingers so didn't miss having a longer guard!).

Middle: tapered tang, ebony handle, overall length 249 mm, blade 123 mm

Bottom: tapered tang, wenge handle, overall length 237 mm, blade 113 mm

BTW I took a bunch of pics as I was making the bottom knife -- would there be much (any?) interest if I was to do a "photo-essay" showing how I make these knives? I'd anticipate maybe half a dozen picture-heavy posts, but the images would be only 200 - 400 kB.

I'll revisit this thread in a week or two to gauge the level of interest in doing a photo-essay.

Photo-essay. Yes, please.

Now those are things of beauty :)

That top knife looks awesome [emoji108]

do an essay on anything, stunning work

I'd be happy to have any of these. Great looking knives

Excelent looking knives. I'd be happy to own any of them. Essay would be good.

+1 for the essay

Stunning!

Those look great mate :thumbsup: You can't fault the grinding and the overall fit/finish/look/shape is very nice!
