Changes on first knife before handle?

[cjweaver13]

First knife ready for a hand. Felt pretty good about the grind for first full knife. Got mad when i ticked the heel with the side of belt but with small bolster it will remain behind edge. Any advise before handle goes on, or for future? I plan on making a few off this pattern and same metal which is L6. Handle will be a cherry wood with 1/4" brass pins. Heat treat also seems ok. Used canola oil heated to about 130* and 2 1 hour temper cycles at 400*. Took one that I messed up the grind on and chopped wood with it using another piece to hit the spine and drive it in and no chips or cracks so I'm on the ballpark

Looking good, keep up the good work.

You're off to a good start. If it were mine I would touch up the tip so it comes to a nice point. It's looking a bit rounded off at the moment. Also, either for now or the future, think about the graceful flow of lines. Simplify, distill and refine until it becomes its most elegant self. Looks nice but some wiggles could use a little smoothing. Keep up the good work.
