Looks good, seems like a nice design. Hopefully, it works as good as it looks. I'd say it was time to get some stencils made and start putting your name on your work ...

I'm glad you said something, I have tested my HT process and took this knives brother to a 3x2 and a 1.5" tree limb. Did fantastic and didn't even need sharpening.

I am currently trying to work on my makers mark. Not sure how it will come out or if I will just use my name.

Thank you!

Whatever your mark might consist of it should, at the least, contain your name. Potential customers find it difficult to google a fancy picture when they are trying to locate the guy who made the knife their friend bought second hand at that gun show last week....

Jay Fisher recommends using your first and last name, possibly even middle initial if you have a common name. I used to not want to do this, and go with just "Jensen", but have seen the light. I thought, not a terribly common name, I've got to be the only one. Turns out I'm glad I included my first cause there is potential for misunderstanding, see below:

That's a good looking knife! I'm betting you're a Brian Goode fan based on the design. . .
