I think with the subtle changes you made with the handle it looks like it would be more comfortable and it could cover a lot of different tasks ... I think the jimping is good ... actually gives you extra grip instead of being more decorative or an after thought ...
I like the handle and thump ramp on these images much more ... you could apply more pressure and/or use it longer without hand fatigue ...
the handle looks comfortable with slight angle change and softening the curve of the heel ... and the 3 divots you put in wouldn't be felt at all the way the rest of the scales are shaped ... and still gives someone the option of using it as a point for a bow drill if they needed/wanted to go that way ... or as a pinch grip ... and the palm swell is nice gives it better orientation in hand ...
with the belly and the height of the blade ... it looks like it could be a nice hunting knife ... and the spearpoint type tip would be useful on several bushcraft type things ...
Looks good Josh ... I'll be interested to see what others think ... but I like it
When you finalize the design please post the specs on it with the changes ... it's good to see you getting to do this !
