Gabriel, from what I can tell, from the small picture, it looks to be clean and well finished. That being said, the guard looks a little long to me. Whenever I look at the picture my eye is instantly drawn to the guard. If this is what you are shooting for, great. Personally I think it would look better a little shorter. Then, I think, I wouldn't be drawn to it so much.

Gabe the blade looks good from what I can see, but like Dale mentioned the guard looks a little long on both top and bottom. In my opinion it kind of overpowers the blade. Also the handle looks, well something looks off to me. I am going to have to look at it some more and see what it is. Possibly more drop to the handle and a larger butt on the handle, and the slightly larger handle might tone down the guard too.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the feedback. Seems I finally figured out how to resize the photo.

I am new here and unfamiliar with Mr. Ables work, but if the knife is intended to be functional, a long guard would be useful. But that also depends on the person using the knife and the style of knife fighting they have been taught.
