Very nice Finn and welcome to the Forum. How about telling us a little about your knife, steel used, handle material, etc?

The blade is made of 1084 steel. The S-guard is stainless steel and the spacer is bronze. The handle material is ipe from Ecuador that my dad and I got when my family lived there.

Thanks for replying.

(My dad just said that I should add that I just turned 13.)

That's a very attractive knife. I really like it.

If I had to give you any critique at all, I might bring the bottom of the handle up a little where the middle finger would be. Then flow from there back to the pommel. But that's it. I say this with caution because I don't in any way want to discourage you. You are doing so well that I think you will appreciate that bit of advice and put it to good use.

Great work.

Thanks for the advice.

I will definitely take your suggestion into consideration. Also thanks for taking the time to look at my work, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for your feedback.

Nice work Finn. I like the blade and the guard. I am with Lin on the handle, not as deep on the finger groove. I also might curve the handle down so you have more of an S curve. Flows better. Just some thoughts. You are doing good, just maybe some tweaks.

Keep up the good work and continue to post your knives for advice from our Moderators.

Great looking knife-better than my first on my own.....and I was a lot older than you at the time <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//smile.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />. You've gotten great advice from REALLY good makers. Keep up the great work, I look forward to seeing the next knives you complete.
