opinions of my new knife design

It looks a little overly aggressively weighted. While it should have a powerful swing, most camping and hunting knife jobs are slicing. That's not to say there isent chopping, but i feel a drop point would serve you better. You may find that blade hard to control.
 
Here are your photos. You will probably get more responses if you post your pics rather than posting a link.

The belly of the blade in your design is protruding way too much in my opinion. And the deep curve in the blade before the bolster will give you trouble when grinding and sharpening. Try to make the blade more of a gentle arc than a dramatic curve.
I would steer towards designs like these:



 
does this design look a little better? changed it to a drop point and got rid of the curve so grinding will be easier
