I just completed this one last night. This is my 9th knife. I've been doing this just over 3 months so she isn't perfection, but I like how it came out. I'd love some feedback from you guys.

1095 high carbon w/ Hamon. Red Pearl kirinite handles, three copper thong tubes, and two nickel silver pins.

Well a couple things is see that stick out to me are: 1. The front tube is a little close to the front of the handle. Maybe would have looked better if the scale was 1/8-1/4" longer. 2. The plunge on the makes mark side seems to almost tip back.

Personally don't care for the handle material but look like you did a good job with it. Not sure about the pin/tube placement.
JMHO, looks pretty good for not doing it very long. You should be proud.
 
Yea I wanted to push the handles up further because of that tube being close like that, but it looked weird to me. I appreciate the input. ... I'll be paying much better attention to placement in the future. Thank you.
