Good looking Wharnie there. I like the handle material , that middle screw in the handle looks a bit high...just personal preference , I like em lined up. I would like to see the filework more.
Looks great.
Good job.
 
Looks good. The thumb grooves look a little sharp, but that might be the angle of the photo. Now, get back in the shop and make another one!
 
Thanks for the kind comments.

The middle scew is a bit high, there is a slight arch to the spine and it follows that instead of a straight line.

The thumb "jimping" is not sharp at all. I wanted to try something other than a checkering file, the drill bit I used in hind sight could have been smaller thus spaced closer.

I have a second knife done ready to post this weekend.
 
Unique blade shape and the hollow grind looks great. I think you definitely have a future in this. Stick with it.
 
If that's your first, you've got a bright future in the craft. That's better than my first 7 or so, at least.
