The first knife that i finally completed. It took me about a year to complete it due to time constriction and lack of skills in my part. This project is kind of making while learning project. All the info on knife making i got it from the internet. This is actually the second knife that i attempted making but the first one never completed because it cracked during quenching process (water quench).
