Charlie, looks good, I'd round the scales off a bit more. The treatment at the front of the scales is interesting but just me though, I'd think if the curve was reversed it'd look better. Just me and I know you probably knew I'd say that :D
 
Thank all of very much for commenting on my knife, Next time I will round the handles off alittle more, I think it would be more comfortable if they where, again I really thank you guys for commenting,Charlie
 
that is a nice looking knife there. I like the curves on the handle scales front and back. they just look right. That handle shape looks great (I can see what the earlier poster was talking about with rounding the handles off more, but I would need to actually feel the handles before saying yea or nea). I really like the blade shape. I like the stubby curve on the front of the blade. Like a "bull nose" appearance.
