Here's the first knife I've forged and finished in my own shop since class. Ironwood handle, Nickel silver guard and pin, 1084 steel. Please, critique away......I wanna get better therefore I have no feelings and take no offense!

That looks really good sir. I see a few scratches in the guard finish from earlier grits but that can be remedied pretty easy if you want. Very nice design and execution. Very impressive work.

Check your photo size again. When there is a slide bar under them it means they're too big.

Thank you Lin! I'll address them scratches in the guard this evening.

Also, I appreciate the tip on photo size......I edited my post and uploaded an allowable size.
