1st Post-Some of my work

[nc_cooter]

Hello all. I just recently joined this forum and have spent many joyful hours looking and lurking around. I am retired and a hobbyest knife maker. I hand forge all of my blades from high carbon steel(ie. 1075,1084 and1095).
Here are some examples of my work. Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome.

I sure like all of the work, knives and beaded leather. Do you ever sell any of your work. It is a very nice design and looks to be well made. You sure can be proud of it. Thanks for sharing it on the  site..........    Frank

Welcome NC- Your work is great! I love how the tang (correct term?) is worked into the horn like it grew that way. The bead work is a very nice touch.
You have real talent.

First, welcome to the board.  Second, great looking work.  Very appealing.  I assume is that a pewter bolster and end cap?
