Man if thats your first "stab" at making a knife, I would say your a natural.. The design is very clean and usefull, and the ginds look great! Very well done! Looking forward to seeing it finished.:thumbup:
 
What the big man said.

Nice first knife.

Just a suggestion, but next time you might want to scale the image down in size to say 1024 or 1500 wide.

This is 1500 wide.

And then, if you like that, you might reduce some of the visual noise, with a crop, like this....

Just saying...

But, I love the knife....

Those lines are really nice. Each curve flows into the next just right. I really like it!

The flat grind also looks great.

It's gonna be a fantastic companion for you!
 
Thats gonna be neat. I like that Bird head handle. Thats it, making a knife is going on my bucket list.

Looking really good. Great functional blade shape. I also love natural mircata. Nice work!
 
If I had to describe a pattern for my ideal knife, it would look about like that. Very nice.:thumbup:
