S35vn neck knife WIP, opinions appreciated

[coop7]

Made this out of some scrap I had. The ergos turned out really good. What kind of grind would go good with it? I was thinking a Scandinavian, but I'm not sure.

Looks good,I like the choil.you should go with Purple Heart wood.

Personally I would flat grind it, its a neck knife so you dont need a lot of meat behind it and with a flat grind it should be quite the slicer.

Nice, I like it, and I would agree with J-siah...

How thick is the steel, and what kind? I agree on a full flat grind, and grind it thin. Take the edge down to .005-.010 after H/T. On a small knife like that you want a razor sharp slicer.

It's 1/8" S35VN, I ended up running short on time so I put a 50ish degree inclusive scandi grind on it (I'll definitely go with the full flat next time). I heat treated to the Crucible recommendations, sans the cryogenic, with a double temper and plate quench. Here's a couple more pictures.
