Just curious how you would do this one?

So far I've been practicing my forging skills on RR spikes and junk steel. My forging to shape needs a lot of improvement but this is the first one I feel like I could actually make a decent knife out of. How would you experienced guys out there finish this one? I have some ideas but I'd like to hear your opinions on my forging to shape job and what type of guard/handle combo you might do on this knife. It's 5160.

By the way, I screwed up when forging and started my edges on the wrong side so it has more curve than I wanted but I decided to go ahead with this one for the sake of learning.

Thanks for lookin,

Hey it looks like a knife.
I think it has a good potential for a Scagel type blade.
My forging to shape always leaves a lot of grinding to do.
Looks like a winner I'D say; keep up the good work
Take Care

Hey Derek, I agree with TJ. When I saw the picture of this knife the other day, one of the first thing that I thought of was that it looks like a Scagel. I believe you should finish it like one his. It looks great!
