First knife

[Rythorne]

First knife is made. Fairly happy with it for never attempting somethings like this. Please give me your honest critiques including negatives please. It needs to be cleaned up just a little but it's 99 percent done. Thank you in advance.I was worried about the shape but when it was handled it fit my big hand very comfortably for such a tiny knife. Can easily grip it tightly with three fingers and the fourth rests against the end.

Very interesting! Did you have a particular use in mind when you built it? What's made from?

Neck knife. Wanted something with a small footprint but still being comfortable in my hand. It's I think maple or mahogany or something. Dark hard wood I found in my garage. Stainless pins and O1 tool steel.

Cool! Reminds me of a Karambit for some reason, perhaps the curve.
