This is one I build for an order, I first drew it out and got approval.

I still have to build a sheath but I was pretty exited about this one so I had to show everyone.

This is my 10th knife and first mirror finished.

Looks like a knife that can take some abuse and still take care of business to me.

The mirror looks very good as well. What grit was the final polish at?

Looks good and quite useful.

On your 11th knife try adding some distal taper. When you only profile a knife and put on an edge, no matter how nice the polish is it still has the look of a sharpened bar of steel. Just a but of taper toward the tip can make a dramatic change in the look. Take a look at that top view of the spine and you will see what I mean.

Otherwise....nice job.
