As always, let me know what you think and what could be improved. :)

Thanks for looking!
 
Looks good. The only things I would change are not to run the plunge up off the spine stop them short with a little curve and it looks like the tang stands proud of the handle. It should all be smooth.
 
Thanks! I agree about the plunges, it's hard to get it even on my 1x30. I hope to upgrade it soon though. :)
 
I like that. Simple, sturdy, purposeful.
I think Barry's advise about the plunges is spot on. You might also consider adding a small notch at the base of the plunge to help with sharpening. It gives a cleaner edge line as well.

Thanks Peter!

I did the sharpening notch on my first 2 knives but decided that I like the cleaner/uninterrupted look a little better. I see where you're coming from though. :)
 
Awesome, especially considering the grinder. Which belts are you using?

Do you own many Bushcraft knives? I don't but have seen that people have opinions on where the edge is in relation to the handle. One fellow pointed out that an edge lower than the handle can cause it to lever the blade against you while using it for carving and other BC activities. Just wondering if it was a concious decision, and what your thoughts are.

I really like it. The handle looks very comfy. Well done.

Thanks, I use Blaze belts in 60 and 120 and then Trizact 65, 45, and 30. For sharpening I use a lot more. :P

I haven't noticed any problems, then again I haven't used it extensively.

Thanks everyone!
