Thanks! We (me and Jay, aka JayGoliath) wanted it to be a versatile field / backpackers knife, to be used as a chopper, slicer, hammer or even mini shovel.
There were two versions, bigger and smaller (this one is smaller).
I see it draws some attention but not much. I wonder what I have done wrong here. Your comments are very welcome and appreciated.
Would you guys prefer it rather in a satin finish? Non-removable glued scales? Lower price?

Alex: I think it's a perfect package to include size. On this type of blade I'm fine with glued scales as I'm not going to make others and definitely don't want to lose any hardware. However, that would not stop me from buying it. I'm just not allowed to buy any more knives at this time. I have noticed knives move slower in the summer months. Someone will come around and have an awesome piece.
 
Yeah, I noticed too, Summer usually is slow. I was away from my workshop most of the Summer anyways.
Speaking of those removable scales, I only went that road because I wanted to try stonewashed finish on this blade. Thinking that making it scratch proof would be a benefit for a field knife. This way I don't have to grind away pins / glue / etc on assembled knife. I though it would be easier but it actually took me much more time and efforts, to my surprise ;) Not sure if I would do it again.
 
Received the knife from Alex and it exceeded my expectations. This is going to be a great all around hunting/camp knife.
