Honestly,, when I first started designing and makin knives, I designed around what was easiest for me to make, because I lacked the experience or confidence to veer away from what I knew I could do, you on the other hand have put a very Labor intensive and skilled blade to grind on a handle that could be so much more, just use that flow past the ricasso to the tang,, I like it,, I think you might have the skill to make me love it,, great job either way,. And anything positive is good.. A piece of 3/8 rusty tool steel I found at work and. A drawing,, less than 2 years ago. And now I'm in it, hooked , and love it, Its changed my life,,
