If you enjoy custom knives you may like my father's work. I posted pics under the hashtag #DarylHibbenKnives
Is there any interest in a discussion on what freehand grinding is and anyone want to see videos of my father doing some?
Lots of sparks and lots of skill!

A Damascus dagger covered in carbon scale looking blue but beautiful
It came out of heat treatment okay and now I need to grind off the carbon scale:

Four knives and their sheathes laid out on a kitchen table. From left to right they are a skinning knife, a flat-ground damascus bowie, another damascus bowie with an extended clip ground up the spine, and a mirror polished dagger with green handle.
This picture from a few years ago has a few of my father's knives on the table; I think several of those have sold since then.
HIs health has kept him out of the shop lately; I hope he makes something new soon.

I really need to get to Dad's shop and make myself one of these; this one is for sale at $550 (including handmade leather sheath):
