Suggestions/Tips/Advice Welcome

Your makers mark is really cool looking, but it doesn't do much to help me find who made the knife if I were to see it in a magazine or on somebody's social media post. Something you might want to consider down the line.

Good point. Would you suggest having an actual name, say, on the other side of the blade?

I'd spend a little more time focusing on plunge lines, but that comes with practice.

Can I ask what you would suggest?

Having your name on one side, if even just the spine of the knife, would help.
As for plunges, you might wanna try some die maker's stones. The ends can be profiled or sharpened to fit into tighter radii like a plunge. That, or you may need a tighter angle on your sanding stick.
