This is the first knife I've posted to the forum. Constructive criticism is appreciated. Thanks.

Looks really good. The only things I would change are to take the grind up higher(unless it's supposed to be a scandi grind) and to round the scales some. It would make it much more comfortable.

^^ I agree with Matt

Also, the plunge line (where the grind begins) is slanted the wrong way. A good rule of thumb to go by is if you're trying to make a straight/vertical/ 90 degree plunge line, slant it backwards 1 degree, so it 89 degrees. This "rule of thumb" also applies to guards as it's generally gives a better "flow" and is more pleasing to the eye. I'm guesing you didn't grind it that way on purpose but it's just something to keep in mind. Other than that I thinks it looks good! :) .

I really like the background you chose for the pictures, goes nicely with the handle colors ... ;)

Good pointers. It does feel a little square in the hand. I didn't notice the angled plunge untill you mentioned it. I'm definetly going to keep that "rule of thumb" in mind. Thanks!
