very nice. The handle looks perfect for a low-profile daily use kind of knife. I've been thinking about my handles a lot lately. Every knife isn't meant to be held 8 hours at a time and doesn't need a big, fat, ergonomically comfortable handle with palm swells. My Kershaw pocket knives are just like yours above and I've never even had a moment where I wished they were different. I wouldn't use my Kershaws to cut meat all day, and that's not what their intended use is. When you aren't using a knife, sometimes the biggest design advantage is simply not being in the way.
I've said it before, but I really like your blade finishes a lot. I only work with stainless, so I'm not sure if your finish could even be applied. But I'm about to pull the trigger on a large tumbler and ceramic media to try some stonewashed finishes. My utility knives don't need a mirror finish, but aside from making them shiny I've been struggling to come up with an interesting finish for them.
Great work, as always.
