First knife

Hi. Just finished my first knife. I made it from an old single piece chainsaw bar and the handle is Danta. I didn't anneal it first so it was hard to work. I don't have a lot of tools so it's a bit rough but overall I think it's ok. I recently scored myself some big old circular sawmill blades so I'm hoping to make some more soon. Hope you like.

I haven't made a sheath yet. I am having trouble trying to source leather.
