KNIFE MAKER
I have been doing mostly one offs since I started making knives about two years ago. I'm at the point where I'm going to start offering the same blade but with a choice of scale material. This is the pattern I'm going to go with - 7" OAL with a 3-1/4" blade (cutting edge is 3"). This one is 1095 with Hamon and vintage micarta scales with a toxic green G10 liner and SS pin and tube. Feedback and critique is always welcome.



 
Looks like a good "go-to" knife. I like the lines alot. The photos make it look larger.
Thanks Bruce. I've been messing around with profiles for a knife this size and this one seemed to be it. I might also make a hidden tang with this blade shape but for now - full tang.

I neglected to mention that you have that hamon thing down completely !
 
I like the knive but personelly I would round the front edge of your knife scales. It will help it slip into a sheath easier.
