Here's the latest knife project. I purchased some 01 Tool Steel for this project. I shaped the blade, ground the edge, sanded for hours, heat treated, tempered, sanded some more, affixed handle, sanded and shaped, oiled and sealed, and polished. I then made a sheath out of birch bark.
Here are the pictures. I will be adding more pictures from the build stages shortly...
