Looks great. You might want to burnish the leather edges in the sheath opening to give that a finish look. I’ve found that a long deer antler time works great for this. I need to teach myself how to do the lacing.

strong work Sir!!!

Very clean work. Great job on the sheath!

Personal preference, but don't be afraid to take some files and contour your handles after they are all glued up. Rounding the corners and even getting aggressive with some shaping will take this knife design to the next level. Curves are sexy.

Thanks. Yes I need to work on the details like burnishing.

Thanks for the input. It does have some contour to it that doesn't really show up in the picture. Here's another angle.
