Hello,
This is what I’m working on this days, I’m trying to do my first photo realistic model,
its based on a Solingen knife that belonged to my grandfather, here’s a render and some wires, let me know what you think 
Next is textureing it, it should look pretty old and worn off, and it will be placed
on a rough wood table.
looking good! 
Really like it! I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with the material for the blade.
