I think it's dandy. Symmetry is critical and you seem to have it, guard flows good and you clocked the pins.
 
Amazing job. Seeing all these nice grind lines with files makes me wonder what I am doing wrong...
 
I will be showing your work to a young man as example of what can be done with files and sandpaper.
Nice Work.

Looks great! Though, the front pin keeps throwing my eye off a tad. In the horizontal pictures, it looks off...then that final vertical picture shows it closer to where it should be.
 
Excellent job !
I am very glad to see you clocked the rivets.

Posting the specs with photos will help the observers.
steel type
handle material
measurements
special notes
 
Thanks everyone...And grizzlybear you are correct...I'm not making excuses but i actually think the insides of the pin were twisted because one side is dead on and the other is off ever so slightly...But with an eye like that I'm pretty happy thats all you could find...lol..
 
The blade is 1095
3 inch blade 7 inches overall
Marblewood handles
And as far as special notes....I dont know too many knifemakers personally but I really have to say that I appreciate the kind words and comments that you guys give on here..Its nice to show people who know what goes into a knife one of these finished projects..to most people its just a shiny knife..anyways thanks again and i look forward to showing many more..
 
I'm like you Danny, I do almost all my work solely with files. It's extremely time consuming but immensely gratifying. Super nice job by the way.
