Hi Folks!!

I wanna share with you my last basic utility knife. This blade is CPM S30V, the steel was a present from my friend Vasyl :D This blade has a free hand hollow grind, satin finish with stabilized burl handle with yellow liners. It's the first time i temper this steel, i've done few cut test and i'm quite happy with the result.

From a constructive-criticism standpoint, I'll offer that I think I'd prefer the look if the front edge of the scales were about another 1/8" or so back from the plunge lines---it just looks slightly "crowded" to me if you know what I mean. That aside, the grinds look good, the overall flow is simple in a businesslike, elegant way, and the proportions are nicely balanced. I VERY much like the handle shape, plain but nicely contoured, and you have the lanyard hole exactly where I want it in the upper corner. Nice knives.
 
Thank you guys! :)

Yes, i got your point. Maybe next time i will change the shape of the handle on the recazo, thank you for your comment ;)

Nice and clean. A tapered tank would elevate it further.

Indeed! but first i need to learn how to do it properly, hope in the next one i will agree this detail! so much things i need to learn :confused: I've just finished a fixture for drilling the tapper tangs properly, i see it from David Sharp tutorial:
