Hello forumfriends

A long time since I have posted something here. I have been busy reading, learning and drawing:pencil:. 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:D

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........

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:graver:
