The knife in progress pictured next to this real big knife? Machete? Sword? Whatever you wanna call it, is 8" OAL.  This knife also had a hamon but the camera didn't like picking it up in the natural light so I did my best. I kinda had to improvise with my kydex press as well, being as this is much larger than what I usually make, so the kydex didnt suck down quite as tight as I would of liked, but it was a non issue for the individual it was destined for so we called it good.  I guess I'll just keep posting them up like this gradually in their own threads, unless doing so will draw the ire of the powers that be or other forum members.

From how I took it, I didn't think this met the definition of spamming as outlined in the code of conduct section. You're probably right in the fact that I'm sweating it too much.

Sad to say, if you’re a custom knife maker and post your completed work here too frequently, they will demand you pay them as they consider it advertising. I don’t think the blade forum here ever recovered from them running off Fallen Oak Forge and the other guy who’s name I forget. It’s a ghost town now.

Well, hopefully I can avoid a similar fate, I'm not profiting from this and I really like to show people the things I make, and I hope people enjoy seeing it.
