Critique Request Progress pictures from last project

[Adder]

Hello forumfriends

A long time since I have posted something here. I have been busy reading, learning and drawing. I am still a total newbee and hobby knifemaker/engraver. The bolster is made of 304 SS and was a challenge to cut with lots of broken chips and a litle bit of cursing during this project. Im aware that there is several flaws and the "flow" is not perfect. Anyway I want critique from you so I maybe can be better at this

Regardsless of that I wil thank you all for making me a better hobbyengraver. This forum has everything !!!


Anyway, here is how long I have come as an hobbyengraver, and still learning........

First trying to draw

Very nice

Very nicely done. Good design and your shading is remarkable for early days.
You will be much sought after as a sole author knifemaker/engraver I think.

I only make a few knives every year, and all of them I usually give away as gifts to my familymembers or friends. Nowadays engraving is the fun part and not knifemaking

I like it. So, when are you going to adopted me, so I can receive one of these.
