Nice job!!!!! appealing blade!!!
 
Would love to see this in a thinner steel stock, unless you were able to get it thin with that grind, nice work.
 
If it is 5160, I have heard getting thinner stock is hard, and sometimes more expensive. keep up the good work, this one will serve someone very well.
