Thanks, Floyd 🤝.. .I'm going to refine them a little more... I've been getting into sharpening and messing around with old, damaged HOKs .. gives me something to do at 3am when I'm up by myself before work, well Layla likes to watch, I guess 😁

Thanks KGIG!😁🤝.. I'm going to work on the tips a little more and buff the bolsters...I've been watching a guy on youtube lately (his chanel is "Outdoors55", I highly recommend watching his videos) who is an amateur knife maker.. he's pretty slick.. all of his videos are very entertaining, informative and family friendly. So now I have this idea in my head that I want to start making my own fixed blades ::facepalm:: .. I gotta build a garage first before I jump into that or Kim will kill me if I start doing that in my house somewhere 😁. .. just be what I needed, another expensive hobby ::facepalm:: ..
