Me too....
But only in a secret place... deep in the heart of Texas.

Never done a knife. I have done some attempts at razors with old files in a charcoal chimney lighter with an air mattress inflator for annealing and heat treating but not really forging as such. I say attempts because I found that the files I had at least we're too thin and I didn't have an anvil to work them on. I really want to though.
Yours looks really good. Well done!
My first grinder was a belt sander clamped upside down in my vice. I prefer to use known steel any more. Use cooking oil instead of motor oil or transmission fluid. Have fun with it!
