Made my first knife!!

Finished my first knife ever today. Made it out of O1 tool steel. 5/32" thick. The handle is made out of desert ironwood from Arizona. I still have a little bit of finishing work on it, but it's mainly done. What do y'all think?

If you are serious about making knives you want to be sure that you are making a knife and not just a knife-like object. The advice in that thread will help you do that ...
