My EDC pattern made in this batch of 80CrV2. Here it just needs a little cleanup and some more stropping on the blade, and it will be ready to ship out to my friend.
Here is the clip point with natural bubinga and G10 liners. I believe this shows one application of tung oil finish. It will have four to five applications when I am done.
The main thing I see that you need to do is round the front of the scales more. The front is "stiff". That 90° angle will be both uncomfortable on a finger in some grips, and likely to chip.
Other than that - "Hey, Andy, those are great knives! Keep up the good work!"
From a guy who's never yet made a knife, these look nice
I want to ask about the steel though. Being in EU, I can't get AISI steel. 80CrV2 should be quite forgiving for beginners, right? What did you think of it?

It was pretty easy, in terms of cutting, grinding and sanding. I am sure it came to me annealed, because I got it from Alpha. I do my grinding and sanding up to 400 grit before heat treatment.
I have never done my own heat treatment, so I cannot comment on that part of it.
