Thanks for the critique JHCC! As far as the handle goes, if I went much smaller it wouldn't fit the hand. Is proportion more important than functionality? I don't wanna make "wall hangers", I want to be able to grab and use any blade I make. And I'm not arguing your critique, just asking because I need to learn? Also I see the fit and finish concerns, and I knew what I had to do better, I just wasn't sure how with my limited tools. That's was made with an ammo can forge, a homemade venturi burner, a 20oz framing hammer, and sanded by hand. Again thanks for the constructive criticism, and I will take it all and use it on my next endeavor!
