Hey Martin, do you create all of these knives just for yourself or are you a (semi-)professional knife maker? I can hardly believe an “amateur” can create this. Do you have a site?
Sometimes i made (grinding) my own blades,and heat harden/temper them, but mostley i have “grinders-blade smiths”" here in sweden that make blades after a skiss that i have made, i also bought blades from other states. I prefer that there is only one copy of my knife and then i do the handle ore scales if they are fulltang. I have done maybe about over 230 knives now i think. Most to friends and to my self ( im a knife oholic) but i also had sold some 
i also mostley do my own micarta and the similar grip.
the khukri on the picture i have not done,but all the rest.
sorry for my bad english and hope you can understand me 
martin
*** maybe one of my knives soon will be shown here by Clay with a wicked edge on it ***we will see that.
These are 2 of my knives I made, 5 row down, the 2 major fulltangs. Maihkel Eklund is the blade Smith and it is his art and knife gallery that they are at. one has a horse stall mat (rubber) and the other has self made micarta, they are truly special knives with their shape and size and finger eliminator, but works realy good as a survial/chopper/forest knifes
to mark 76
Amateur???
im from Sweden, a Real Viking, we have been making knives and swords along time:P
just kidding…
this picture says it all…happiness of having a realy sharp knife

Those are some of the most beautiful knives that I have ever seen. Talk about knife lust.
I thought about that, but wanted to make sure. So much to learn. Sigh!
