Newbie here

Hi guys new here and to knife making. I have finished about 6 to date. Just thought I might show some of my work and get some feedback if possible. At the moment I am not making the blades I am using premade blanks.

Another these are mesquite handles. The bottom two I stabilized with cactus juice resin.

They look great. A lot of expensive tools are not required to take the next step and start making the blades from bar stock.

You're off to a great start! Did you do the leather work? Like Walt said, all you need is some bar stock, files and sandpaper and you could be making your own blades soon ...
