IMHO, the dragon is crowded onto the handle. A dragon on the handle is a good idea but the size is wrong. Also the green makes it to understated. The right color would be hard to find because if it is too bright then it gets really gaudy.

I like the two-tone look but I think the majority don't care for that.

I offer criticisms, as I assume that is more useful than a "Sweet knife" comment.
 
Your knives are definitely looking better and better every time I see one. They are instantly recognizable. This one is very nice indeed.
 
I think it looks good. I like the high grinds. I agree with Zen about the dragon. Also, the file work, is it symmetrical? The left and right sides don't looked to be lined up with each other. It could be the picture as well.

I happen to like the 2 tone color of the handle. Following that, a black graphic (instead) of green would have looked better IMHO.

Keep going.....nice looking flippers.
 
it looks really nice imo!

but I feel the recurve and basic shape of the blade is too exagerated, and the dragon looks squished in order to fit the handle. maybe the dragon could be made horizontal to fit the whole handle.

great knife!
 
thanks for the feed back.
I trimed alittle off of the flipper and added tracktion grooves today.
and the dragon looks better in person. I'll
take some new pics tomorrow at a differnt angle.
 
That one looks even more refined. That looks awesome!! You keep getting better, and better with everyone.
