Here is my first bowie build it was done with 5160 all by hand so I am pretty proud this was my 3rd build
11 inch tip to end

We had some good knife threads the first couple of years, I wonder if anyone is left. I want to get into it but haven't done more than reprofile the tip on a broken chef's knife as yet.

I'd recommend buying some annealed O1 off Amazon just to see if you like it.
I made my first knife with it, from there on you can decide where you want to go. I've taken to forging, it's more fun for me personally

I would venture that all the serious knifemakers and collectors went to bladeforums.
britishblades is a good resource

Made a few... Haven't dabbled in a couple years though, since I made one i'm completely happy with which goes on all my camping trips etc.

Use to a few yrs ago. Arthritis is a bitch, I can't do it any more. Rip in peace.
