no not overly, nice to work with and some really nice figuring and grain .
Couple fresh off the glueing up process, ready to be shaped up, including my first ever tapered tang, the tapering is a tad subtle due to me being nervous, would I do another, well it’s a lot of work, but probably.

Small knife custom build, full story under gear a equipment , turned out cool.![]()
Another couple of knives. O1 steel and teak. Have some stainless off getting hardened. Pretty impressed with the edge holding and sharpenability. Seems reasonably rust resistant with a forced patina. Ill see how these go 'in the bright'![]()
Fished this one out of the draw, it’s done some miles

Shiny knife from @terryf - just beautiful burr wood. If members haven't had the pleasure of Terry's first class customer service then give him a go.
And a Lionsteel M1 - a wee knife in 390.

Anyone done the Lost Arts 1 day Knife making course?
https://lostarts.co.nz/1-day-knife-course
Mrs got it for me for my birthday and quite looking forward to it.
Any designs that anyone would recommend? Thinking a camp cleave type style as a utility/do all knife like this
But not sure if they are that practical? Thoughts?
