Newest knife, unusual design,

Hey guys here is the latest knife. Like the title says, this is not a typical one and I don't expect everyone to like it (but I love it). I'm elated because its finally a knife I made for myself!!!

1084, Water quenched pre-bevel grinding. Rockwell C 59, (Converted from 3000 kg Brinell load w/ 10 mm ball)

Hollow Ground
Handle is blue/black G10 from Jantz with copper/stainless steel mosaic pin

Comments and critiques are welcome. I did leave a couple scratches alone since I knew I'd be using it, so there are a few. This is gonna be my new edc/utility knife.

Yup, nothing wrong with that, just don't be shy about using it. The first time you find yourself reaching for another knife to avoid messing this one up could mean you're babying your knife ...

Very competently done. I wish that I could get my two tone micarta handles to come out looking that well. May it give you many years of good use.

I like the design . Made one very similar for my wife as a garden knife.

Part of the luxture of being a part time make is you don't have to follow the trends and get to make knives you like. Keep it up.

Yeah I definitely plan on using it as hard as I can. Yeah damon, it feels so good to have made a knife that I'm proud of and that I get to keep and use. Most of my knives have been given away or sold at a loss lol.
