Thank you all for the tips and direction. That knife is now in my truck with my first attempt at a leather sheath. Ill show some pictures of that tomorrow but its not something im super proud of. Leatherwork was a bit tougher than i expected. Any tips on sizeing the sheath? Seems i made it a bit to big and it does not retain the blade as well as i had hoped.
I just started work on knife number three and hope to use all of your advice to make it my best one yet.

I did my best at a distel taper. Tang has been tapered. The plunge lines where cut with a chainsaw file.
I think i will change up the handle profile a bit. Probably bring the line in from the ricasso and make the belly a bit more pronounced.
Any critiques or direction?
