First hand forged knife

Started with over a month ago and still slowly going at it, but I made progress recently and have the blade in its final shape ( still have to polish it out ) knock the handles off and then harden/temper the blade before finishing up the handles. The handles are curly maple. I needed a thin handled knife for skinning foxes as all my other knives used thick heavy handles which gives me a hard time when carefully skinning out a fox. I am extremely happy with the results of my first knife.
