This was forged form 1084 with a cherry mortise and tenon handle I would like some feed back. Thanks for your time.

The knife looks pretty good, but the handle looks a little off? No flow to it - it's not far off, just needs more flow?
Maybe I would like it better in hand?

You may want to give us more specs?

Size?

Sheath looks nice and clean, well made, most sheaths like this have something you can hook on your belt?

Blade is about 7". Handle is 5". I know what you mean about the flow but felt so good in the hand that I left it alone.
thanks

There is a tab on the reverse side of the sheath to hold it in the belt. About the flow, sometimes it's better for me to quit while I'm ahead, haha

I hear ya - you did about 100% better than I could do.....

I think it's a nice blade shape but I agree something is a little off with the handle, in the second photo it looks as if the timber drops below the spine of the blade, maybe this is upsetting the flow? I think the top if the guard could be a little thinner also. Its' still a nice blade, well done.

Thanks Bryant, thats the part of the handle I have trouble with.
