Jbh, you should be proud as that is a very nice job on that one. I have to look really hard to see anything- the blade finish looks great and plunge looks clean, which is tough to get right early on. Couple things on the handle- the sides look pretty flat which create 'hot zones' or corners on handle that could cause hand discomfort if knife were used for an extended period, so can try to make handle cross section more of an oval than a square. Also the center pin hole looks to have some breakout around it, which is usually avoided by using thick enough stock to be able to grind off enough to remove chipping around pins. And one last thing- I may be wrong- but I don't see a welt in your sheath- the strip of leather added along edge to prevent the sharpened edge from contacting the stitching thread- it may be there but don't see it. This is all I can come up with- it is really a nice job though - you are well on the way for sure- Paul
