Looks pretty good but the handle is a little square I'm thinking the handle may turn out to be a little thinner than you were planning on. When you're done, let me know if I guessed right or not ...

The handle is not attached or shaped in the pic, it's just one side sitting on the knife. I'll get them on tomorrow, it got cold today in Texas, it's about 50 out there!

JMHO, but I think it would look better with the heel rounded.
