Feedback on my Tanto design

[Damneddesigns]

Hi,
I'd designed a few knives months ago but after being part of the knife community since, I took the tanto back to the drawing board and this is what i came up with.
The blue parts are CF inserts which i've used to hide most of the lockbar.
Would love to get your feedback.

Not sure why the images won't show

Pretty sure you need a Pirate membership.

Good for you, but actually you only need one to post directly.
Without one you can use an image host such as postimage or imigur ...ect.

No you don't. Just upload to imgur.com and use the BBCode link.

I'm not a tanto fan but that is a good looking knife. Nice job.

As someone who uses tanto blades almost every day, that looks too bulky to be useful to me. Take a look at these two to see what makes a useful EDC blade.

I'm not much of a tanto person anymore but that design looks very cool.

Handle looks a little like a Kershaw Link, but a cool design.

If the blade is ground thin, this could be pretty neat. I also love what you did with the screw - turning it into a smiley with a blacked out eye. Too damn funny!

This pic is a closeup I cropped from a Heeter knife. Looks unintentionally, hilariously horrified, or terrified. The face is probably cringing in shame at the rest of the knife:

Nice. What is that black G10 knife on the right?

I like it, but seems like it was designed to be more aesthetically tanto than a useable tanto if that makes sense.

I prefer a graceful design like a CRK tanto rather than a harsher Medford, angular design.

It is a nice looking design though.

looks cool. if you had a top lug also , like in the top photo, it would look like a double guard on a fixed blade. that would look even cooler in my opinion.

Nemesis MPR3T. It's an Al Mar design

Nice work, damneddesigns! Those appear on par with offerings from some big-name makers.

That's a sweet looking blade! How is the action? Does it open easily with the backlock?
