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...

That is amazingly cool. I started like, "Yeah, knife... nice, but whatever." Then I'm scrolling down... Awesome!
