I need lots of practice, nice job. :thumbsup:
Pitchy, dont feel alone. I am still a novice there myself. I did the hollow grinding, but the end result wasnt my handiwork. My mentor finished it up for me. :blah: :rotf:
Hollow grinding is the most difficult part of knifemaking IMHO. One of these will have its tang tapered tonight as well as some intricate spine work. Thats the one O am keeping for myself. :wink:
Davy, actually you are right, its is simple. :grin:

OK, this is where I am at at the moment. Did all the drilling today, did some hand filing wokr on the spine of one and also tapered the tang of that one. They are hardened and now they are ready to be tempered. Another 6 hours of work. Also gave life to an offcut piece of steel and turned it into a fillet/trout type knife. :grin:
