Just finished this one up. It's from a piece of 3/16" 1084 steel, edge quenched, and has walnut scales. The sheath is deer rawhide over veggie tan. I appreciate any comments or criticisms.

Very nice work!
I am only going to mention this because you asked for critique but it looks like the pin holes in your handle scales are a bit oversized and showing a little too much epoxy. For 1/8" pinstock use a #29 bit, 3/16" a #13 and for 1/4" a #F.
Honestly that's pretty much the only thing I could find to call out, the rest is looking good.
Keep up the great work
 
Many thanks, gentlemen. Yeah, I screwed up drilling the scales on this one. I hoped I could sand under the ugly spots but couldn't. At least not without making the handle thinner than I wanted. I need to invest in some decent drill bits.
