This is my first piece. I did not craft the blade I pulled it off an old knife. I did make the 6 cuts in the blade and made the handle on the knife. The handle is made from a deer antler. Give me your thoughts on anything you think I could have done differently or how I can improve. Thanks.

Interesting knife, the antler handle is on upside down to the way I would do it.

The natural curve of the antler just seems to flow better and likely give you better leverage in cutting. It almost looks like the knife is designed to have the cap of the antler coming out of the top of your hand by your thumb, like with a reverse grip. And personally I would've went with a bit longer guard so your hand wouldn't slide past it and wind up on the blade.
