Knife making

I began making a few knives late last year.  The top knife has a cherry handle made from O1 tool steel (I made 2 of these for my daughters at Christmas).  The next knife is also O1 and has a black walnut handle with a crossdraw leather I made.  The weird looking thing next in line is a dough knife made from stainless steel with cherry handle (made 3 of these for my wife & daughters).  The next 2 knives, ulu and small kitchen knife, were made made for my wife and photographed after they had already been stained from foodstuffs.  The last one pictured is my first custom order knife with black walnut handle and pocket style leather sheath.  I've found it's not easy to get a good photo of a shiny blade.
