Little necker 1095 hi carbon with hammon

[Knifemaker87]

okay... first off...
this is a shameless copy of a knife i saw on the forums here. but i dont feel too bad as i am not selling it. I made it for a freind of mine. She needed a little knife for skinning. I clay hardened the blade and then etched it with ferric cloric acid.
this is my first succesful hammon line. so i am really excited.
comments are appreciated

thanks for lookin'

Looks good but I would make a small design change for safety sake.
There's no ricasso. Your grind comes so far back that I would be afraid of slicing my forefinger at the base of the curve.

thats a very good point. thanks
i'll smooth the back so as to be easier on fingers
thanks

A blade shape that is different from the neck knives I have seen. I like it.
