Default Hello from N. Calif.

Hello Im new here but I've been lurking at the tutorials. I have learned so much from them, thank you.
I started making knives about four years ago, and after seeing the engraving on the knives in the magazines I had to try it. I started with my own forged gravers and a old drill press base. Then I took a beginer class and got some tools. I work as a steel fabricator and I don't have as much time as I would like to make knives and engrave.
Here are a few pics. of my work. The dagger is what Im working on now. The guard is stainless, that was a mistake, it's taking for ever but now im learning to use carbide.
