I like that- good job.  I did some knife making when I lived in El Paso- very enjoyable.

That's 440c Stainless. I'm learning, I use to work by the instructor at the Weirton Steel Company. Here's a link to his Web page and Facebook page.

He is a great instructor, hope to learn more.

That is very nice looking Willy..a classic  design never loses its appeal. Heck, Your site name should be Steelworker.
