Very nice for a 2nd attempt. I like the blade especially. 2 points I would comment on are the exaggerated belly on the handle and where the scales at the front come to a point. The first is likely to make an awkward hold and the second will eventually break off. Minor things, on a nice knife.

Jesse,
That knife looks pretty fair although I agree with Ricky about that thin wood at the front of the handle, probably too delicate.
I can't test that knife, what I need is much simpler. Look at the first post in this thread to see what I need for testing:

Ok Ray, sounds good. I'll get it cut out and started. How much room you want between handle and blade?

Just follow that ugly pattern, you can probably print it out. I think that flat spot is about 1" wide. Don't bother to put scales on it, bare steel handle, no fancy finish, but do sharpen it...
