Here's a recent game that I won with some active knights and their forks. It ended on a blunder, but I think my pawn advantage would have been enough.
I meant to add that on move 30, black could try d5+, Ke4, f5+.
If Kxf5, then Ne7+ and black will win the knight. Not Ke5 for simmiliar reasons. The idea is that the only way he can get out of it is with a knight check, which I must avoid. Instead, I'd have played gxf5, allowing doubled pawns.
18... Kc8 appears to be winning (more) material for him. On 19 Rxb7 there is 19... Rc8 followed by 20... Bc6; 19... Bc6 also might work, and after 20 Rxa7 Rxa7 21 Nxa7 Bd7; one problem here is that White can't save the knight with 22 b3 Kc7 23 a4 due to 23... Ra8 24 Nb5 Bxb5 25 ab Ra1+.
And by the way, yeah, he should've played 22... Bxe6 23 Re1 Rc6. If 24 Nxc6 bc he really should be able to win that; and if 24 f5 Nxf5 25 Nxf5+ Kf7 and he's still a pawn up.
I think you meant 18...Kd8. Thank you for the analysis.
