Anyone interested in getting into knife making?

Ok, I got my blanks and I got my printer. I was thinking of something small and simple. I don't know what these types of knives are called, but I've always liked em

I found a similar layout online

Here it is printed and taped onto a blank

Making new handles for old knives and axes is something I've always wanted to take up

Not into making my own knives, but I have my share of very fine works from a bladesmith over in Pakistan. I ordered one of his standard models and I was impressed with the quality, so I asked him if he'd make a few more to my specifications.

My most recent purchase is posted above, a standard kitchen knife set, damascus steel, and the thickness is 1/4" which is far thicker than standard. That gives each piece a proper weight as a battle knife.

Picked them up for $200, shipping included, and I sincerely doubt any custom bladesmith in North America would have made a set like that for anything less than $500. Just a hunch.

Edit : May as well post which Pakistani Bladesmith that made that set. He's - Royalenterprises_4 - on Ebay. He has a long list of knives, swords, axes, and even brass knuckles he offers, and for a respectable additional fee he'll make anything to your specifications. For example the elk bone handles for my knife set were a very respectable $20 for the entire set.
100% satisfied with everything I've ordered from him, and am planning on ordering more in the future.

Thank you.



And it looks like pics of the hammer aren't working, so I had to reupload them.
