I just got finished with a week long, NRA, knife making class at TSJC. I made two simple knives for my wife and I to take to Vegas later in the summer and I am pretty happy with them.
We used mostly hand tools, the bevels were all filed by hand; mine is a saber grind and the one I made for my wife is a flat grind.
The blades a 440C stainless, brass bolsters/pins, and Diamondwood walnut scales. My instructor suggested that if you learn on 440C, O1 will be a cake walk (I hope so). I am not one for shiny knives so after a quick (I was running short on time) 220 polish, I buffed the wood and bead blasted the metal.
The only flare would be the red liners on my wife's.
