Good work but I think you can do better, some improvements in my opinion.

Grinds should meet in middle of blade.

Ricasso should be shorter, too long.

Pins are too close to edge of handle.

Handle looks a little formless.

Guard lugs should be thinner.

What is the finish on the blade? If your going for the tactical look I would bead blast it all, blade, handle and guard, otherwise mirror polish and leather sheath.

Hope you do not take any offence from my words. All the best.

One more thing, it’s hard to tell from these pictures but the tapered tang looks like it could be a little thinner.

Good pictures always make a knife look good.

Thank you for your advices!
The blade is etched by ferric chloride...I tried to mix classic and tactical looks and the result might not like it...
I know photos are not so good...I am not a great photographer
