Here is my latest project. It's been far too cold to beat on my poor frozen anvil so here is a stock removal blade. As always input is welcome and thanks for looking.

Stock Removal
1075 differentially heat treated
7 1/2 OAL blade 3 1/4 X 1 1/4
Tapered tang (although could/should have been tapered a bit more)
Redwood Burl scales with red liners
Stainless pins
3.8 oz.
 
Can't find anything I would critique on this one.

I'm just begining my knife making journey and discovering how subtle differences in blade profile can make a huge difference in the look and function of a knife. This profile seems to have a more substantial belly than I am accustomed to on a small drop point. The difference is really minor but my eye seems immediately drawn to it.
