I'm Excited...

Sorry, all I have is 1 crappy cell pic. It was packed up and shipped this morning.
I'm excited. I've worked on several knife attempts previously, but there was something wrong with each of them design-wise or I barely mangled a plunge cut or something similar.
I think I'm OCD about creating things; if it's not perfect, and I cannot fix it, then I trash it and start over.
This knife isn't perfect, but it will make a good user, and I made it for me to use out in the woods, and beat on.
It's 1095, 1/8" thick, 9" OAL, spear point, thumb jimping/file work; taper-grind/convex edge grind. The scales, which I might redo, are red oak and wenge, with red spacers and copper pins.

That's very nice.. That handle shape looks perfect!
What he said. I really like the handle contours on that one.
