Damn me I forgot to get the measurements of this before I sent it to the customer.

OAL: Around 14"
Blade: 8" ish
Thickness: .275" at tang, tapered to around 3/16" at 1" behind point
Full height convex grind

Orange G10 scales w/ .06 Forest green G10, and 1/8" Black G10 liners, stainless pins, w/ mosaic pin(center pin), stainless lanyard tube

Leather sheath - hand stitched, can be carried tracker style, drop-leg or cross-draw

All critiques encouraged. Thanks for looking.

Looks great. Good job on the sheath as well.

How do you like that handle profile? Looks like it would provide a nice stable grip.

I like the handle profile, I find it comfortable, and versatile. I received a few comments form people who did not like the "beak" at the pommel, but to each is own.
 
I find that knife very appealing. Nice work.
 
I just had to look at this one again and add some more thoughts. I do not think the beak pommel would be too uncomfortable. I usually avoid them on my knives but the way that one tapers back looks fine.
The convex grind and the recurve makes the knife flow very well.
Your customer had best be very happy when it arrives.

Thanks again Chris, customer loves the knife. The "beak" would be uncomfortable if the handle were small or cramped but there is enough room for even large hands, its just there to prevent slippage.
