A greeting to all the forum ;)







 
Great looking knife, the handle looks like it'd be incredibly comfortable in the hand. Nice work!

I like the handle shape a lot. I do wonder why you chose the blade height the way you did, since you've got a big lump on the back when the knife is opened, that could have been addressed by changing the blade shape and height a little, so the curve doesn't get interrupted. Aesthetically, I would much prefer it if that line continued on without interruption. Just my opinion. I'd also be interested to see what a model like that would look like with some texturing added to the handle (or else a high polish put on that G10) as well. Very nice!
