I have been making knives and not spending a lot of time on line. here are some of my most recent.
first one is O1 with both edges sharpened, brass bolsters, stabilized black walnut burl, and homemade mosaic pins

second is W1 clay quench with linen micarta and stainless pins

third is W1 with corian handle, clay quench and homemade mosaics
 
I especially like your temper line on the white corion handled one. :cool: Quick question for you. Can stainless be clay tempered to show a nice line like that or does it only work with carbon steels?

As far as I know it only works that way for carbon steels, and only certain carbon steels at that. I believe they have to be simple steels without a lot of alloys. W1 works well and so does all the 10xx series steel. 5160, not so well. Hope that helps.
