Hopefully second one not for free!

This hopefully will be my second knife actually sold. Leather sheath is coming and the blade specs are. Thanks for looking and discussion or critiques are always welcome.

Congratulations on turning out a really good knife. The design is great. The handle shape is excellent and proportioned correctly. Getting the handle sized right is a hard thing to do and you've done it.

Fit and finish, in my experience, is what sells knives. The handle really is finely finished. The blade is not quite up to the standard of the handle, but it is not far off.

The two things I see are your plunge lines and the finish of the blade. If you are going to use a notch, it looks great to have your plunges bisect that notch, or at least end somewhere within that notch.

Finish-wise, more attention to hand sanding out the grind lines at the plunges.

All in all, very well done.
