I have been working hard to learn and get my heat treats correct. These two both came out really well. I tested them out pretty tough and they both held up.
Please excuse the pictures.
This blade is D2 with coco handle flat ground. I am really happy with how this one came out.

This blade I made for my father in law's birthday. It is hollow ground 1084 and osage.
