Hello all, after quite some time I have decided to reevaluate, the old rule preventing sales posts and self-promotion. The rationale behind the change is that the makers will benefit from community support. There has been hesitation to change the rule based on the idea that sales post will run rampant if allowed; however, I have some requests in exchange for those who want to post a link to their website.
All criteria must be met.
There are a few additional limitations to this change
I hope that this change to the rule is favorable, if you have feedback or comments, I would like to hear it and may make changes accordingly.

Something I forged from a single piece of carbon steel about two years ago. Fantasy-themed, but with no specific context. I just want to forge fancy stuff. đâď¸ Feel free to set it in your own theme.

Am I able to post this series here as I make them or is it frowned upon? Still not positive if there's an unspoken rule against it

Damasteel Aegir pattern, black G10 with G10 spacers and spalted maple burl. The paring knife is 1/16 Nitro-V with the handle materials reverse using the off itâs from the other handle.

This is homemade felt micarta, and it's my first attempt at texturing micarta. Some areas look good, but some look "crumbly" for lack of a better term. It isn't falling apart at all, but it still looks kinda rough. How do I clean up this thing? Thanks!

This is the first of complex Mosaic pattern I have made. The result isnât bad. I am very happy with it.
Itâs a little paring knife.
Mosaic steel with 416 guard and hardwood burl (stabilized).

First time attempting to sell a knife and looking for recommendations on how to realistically price. Specs are 1084 with micarta and g10 handle hardware. Etched and stonewashed. Looking to avoid lowballing myself but also keep my price realistic. Thanks!

This is a full tang hunter out of previously produced batch made from Elmax steel.
Specs:
I wanted to keep the lines simple and let the spalting in the apricot handle stand out. The blade has a clean satin finish and a comfortable handle profile for extended use.
I still refine my fit and finish with every knife, so I'd really appreciate any feedback or criticism. What would you improve?
If you want to check out my other builds and materials, feel free to take a look at my Instagram: @bearpaw_knifeworks
Thanks for looking, appreciate the support!

80CrV2 blade with a stonewashed finish. Katalox wood handle with brass pins and a brown leather sheath.
Havenât done a Katalox handle in a while and I forgot how hard this stuff is, grinds and sands slowly but does end up with a nice finish.
This one is available if youâre interested.
Thanks for looking!

Blade is made from a 15n20 industrial bandsaw blade, handle is homemade burgundy and black felt micarta. This one was too big for me to heat treat, so I sent it out to a friend whom I will tag in the comments. He handled everything from making sure it was perfectly straight, to dialing in the exact HRC I needed for this beast. Thanks dude! 10/10, definitely recommend his services.

BHK : " Toxic " MKII 3" Pocket Tanto in AEB-L / fatcarbon.
This is kinda of a trial on an "Light MKII" with extra weight reduction, Carbon Scales, thinner .06" Kydex & a UltiClip Slim, i'll have to weigh it against my personal 3" MKII Tanto to see what the difference is.

How do you set the bevel width? (Height?) Like how do you gauge the height of eye/angle relative to how far up the blade towards the spine you want the bevel to go?
How would you clamp small/irregular knives? Like a marking knife example, basically just keep the edge perpendicular to the file?
How do you prevent semicircular bevels if you just want a straight edge like on a marking knife? Does it even matter if the file is basically the width of the whole edge?
Would a ball end joint like in second image be a good idea for this sort of jig? I feel like it would limit any travel/slop in the arm.
