    Thats a good start mate, a couple of those blades look very useful. If you keep at it and learn as much as you can off youtube etc., you will be producing top quality stuff soon enough. When I was learning there was no youtube, so I imported a bunch of books and figured it out from there. Now there is so much info on knifemaking out there that you couldn't watch it all if you wanted to.

    Biggest thing for me when I was trying to improve my work was to never settle for "good enough". You have to push yourself to be a bit of perfectionist, but dont beat yourself up when you dont achieve it, and dont let perfection get in the way of progress. This advice seems to counter itself, but as soon as you are happy with what you are producing is the point that you stop improving, but the only way to improve is to keep making knives and trying things.

    Im interested to see more of your work, so keep posting your journey here. There are a bunch of clever guys on this forum who can give good advice.
