I think the blade would look better if the grind lines came together, and unless it is the picture the edges of the grind lines could be cleaner, but I very much like the overall lines of this knife. This is my opinion and may not be shared by others. I am also not saying that I do not like your knife, because I do. IMO it could be made even better is all I am trying to say.

I like it!!

One small point... the guard looks overly large... Sorry if i'm being nitpicky, i like it overall, and the blade is nicely shaped. Also the handle!!

James, wishing he could make something that good.

It is a hollow grind on this blade.So taking the grind lines together would be difficult. Next one will get a flat grind. Grind lines are pretty good the picture quality is not!
Actually the gaurd just comes exactly even with the handle sides. You are right it could be a little smaller

Now that I see this new picture I have to say that this knife looks much better than I first thought. Very nice.

I agree with what Keith just said. Nice work Bob! The new picture shows the grind lines much better and the slightly smaller guard does look better. Good looking knife!
