Not to everyone's taste I guess.

Well the blade design is not one I would like, but there are a lot of good things you did to the knife. I guess you are like me and don't have a lot of tools to work with. My knives where built with files, sandpaper, a drill press, and a cheap wood sander. It's hard to get any fancy grinds with limited tools. But your lines look good, ricasso is straight, and the handle looks about right. Also if you made the sheath you did a good job on that. I don't build knives anymore, arthritis and carpel tunnel have got me upside down. But keep on working it. the more you the better you get.

Swap out the wood sander for a bigger cheap belt grinder and add a Dremel and you've got the idea.

And I do make the sheaths. So thank you for that.

Shame that you're not able to make them anymore. Hope you have another outlet for creativity.
