Indians For Guns

Hi All,
Here are some pics for a compact drop-point hunting knife I just completed. Blade length is 4.5inchs of tool steel with a tapered tang. Bolsters are mild steel and the woodwork is dark sheesham. have added some vine filing on the spine.
pls have a look...feedback and suggestions are welcome..!

Loved the vine file and the handle

You are an artist. As usual a brilliant job done.

Regards

Awesome DIY
How did you mange the 'mirror finish' on those blades?
A few pointers would help us

How do you create the serrated edge?

Thanks everyone, for your encouragement and appreciation.!

@Briha sir: for mirror finish, I implement the following steps:
1. prep the blade progressively till 600 grit with a grinder.
2. Manually rub with paper (800grit) and prep the surface using cutting wax/rubbing compound to remove fine scratches.
3. Finally 2to3 applications of the green metal polish using felt pads.
That's it..

@sumanngon: its not a sharp serrated edge. Just pattern filing using a combo of round and triangular needle files.

Great job bro

Brilliant work done to cast such as amazing piece of fixed blade knife. Really loved the shape of the shiny blade and the wooden hand grip.

Whoa! Real beauties sir! Total heart-stoppers!!

Well harshit89, I wont lie,, I did not smelt my own steel nor logged my own timber for woodwork. Bought the steel plate and wood from the market and just worked them a bit so they could all come together. donno if it qualifies as crafting...!
