Hi fellas:

My design is made from thicker stock than traditional bushcraft knifes, with a tapered tang and improved handle ergonomics to make a different and visually pleasing buschcraft knife. The design gives you neutral balance directly under the front rivet - the flats have the color case hardened hues of straw, red, blue, and black, while the handle spine is cold blued along with thumb grooves. High scandi grind with small secondary bevel to prevent chipping. I hope you like it!

That is very nice! Love the mixture of different finishes between the case hardening and the bluing. Sheath is top notch...looks like my style except for the 2 toned...which I really like.
 
Nice work. Why the secondary bevel? 12.5 to zero should do it.
