Finished up a project, need opinions

[Ferahgo]

I didnt finish up the end just yet. I know that I need some serious improvement, but thoughts about the general idea?

I like the general idea and the knife a lot 👍
my only suggestion would be to make a butt cap ( I think in Japanese it's the kashira ) out of a piece of an old brass cartridge , and I think a .45acp would work fine if you stretch it open ( otherwise you'll probably need a .338 it .700win )

^That is a (fluffy word) good idea...

😁 your not gonna believe this but I didn't even realize there was a cartridge in that picture until just now. How could I not notice the knife resting on a .45acp ?

HAH! I saw that one come by on 9gag. Quite like that little knife.

Suggestions to make that better (just from what I could see from the pic)

- Give the grind a nice satin finish or high polish
- impregnate the cord with some kind of resin.
- Cord still looks like it could be a little closer to the blade, there's a gap there near the spine.
- Figure out some way to finish up near the end of the handle..the knotting looks a little sloppy.

Other than that...no real suggestions from me. Design wise I love it. The colours are cool and it looks great.

Didn't realize there were follow 9gagers here. lol
I think that polishing then grind could turn out nicely. excellent idea.
Yeah, the wrap isn't quite perfect, but I'm getting there.
The knot at the end isn't finished. I am working out a way to clean that up right now
