Does This Look Right? Opinions Please.

[Sibyrnes]

The grind is uneven, in close-up, the spine looks like an old beat up piece of metal, and the scales don't even cover the full tang. Blade photo looks like it was stone-washed with random rocks in a washing machine. The screws holding the scales on from the hardware store. Other than that, it looks like a knife.

I certainly don't see the appeal of any of the workmanship. $15 gas station knives often have more symmetrical finish on the blades. What good is "hand-ground and sharpened " if it's so uneven? Is that appealing to any of y'all?

Well I did ask for opinions and you certainly gave yours. I respect that even if I disagree with some of your points.

Sure it looks good enough if the grinder is drunk enough.

very slightly left.
if it were mine I doubt I'd worry about it. It doesn't look like it is enough to affect using it.

Here is a new knife that arrived yesterday. Does the tip look bent to you? Does the blade look straight? I will reveal what knife it is after I get some opinions.

A little but you should be able to change that over a couple sharpens if it really bothers you.
