I'm very happy with the way this knife came out, and I figured I'd share it on here for any discussion that might arise. Check it out and enjoy!

I like the knife a lot, except for the huge logo, that spoils it for me.
 
Thanks for your input T.K.C.! I'm actually in the market to have a different makers mark created, but that wont be until a few more months at most. Gotta sell a few more knives first (:
 
Reminiscent of the Black Mamba's from Black Jack knives back in the 80s-90s and a Puma White Hunter.

I like it but if your asking opinions I'd do a distal taper on the handle, reconsider the rear bolsters and change the jigging to something less aggressive.

How's the balance, is it a little tail heavy? Looks like a really workable blade. a good outdoor/utility knife, thanks for sharing.

Joseph what are the dimensions and weight if you don't mind me asking.
 
Thanks for the feedback everybody!

It's balanced really well actually. She's certainly not the lightest knife out there weighing just under 10 Oz, but it balances evenly right on the finger recess. Here's the other dimension info -

Blade Length: 4 1/4"
Steel Thickness: 3/16"
Handle Length: 4 1/2"
Overall Length: 9 1/8"

You know I was actually thinking about doing some file work on the spines at some point. I think it could really add some complexity to the design.

Thanks Joseph, that helps me imagine the balance, it's smaller than I thought. I was thinkin' it was a big guy at 12" but at a smaller length it changes the balance substantially, again thanks for the reply.
