Looks great Max. Especially for your first.

Hey Max, great job for the first one. Not sure how I missed this pix as I have been on the site several times since Sept. 5. Excellent shape & edge grinding.

Awesome job Max!!!

That turned out real nice.

I see the tapering of the handles turned out to do the job, no wasted material.

Outstanding! Don't ya just love it when a plan comes together like that!

Kudos, Max, on a job well done!

Thanks the next one will take some time since I only work on it a couple hours every Wednesday with a couple if friends after we meet for breakfast. So a few months then it gets sent out for heat treating then still have lots to do.
It's more about the friends all working and getting together.
I do have a couple of blanks already cut out and want to do all the grind on both so both can go to heat treat at the same time and then cut a couple more blanks.
