I like it very much - I would like it more if a little longer as I think it would look more balanced - but that's personal taste rather than technique. That's a ferociously long swedge too - I would be tempted to hold it to the clip point. All just matters of preference of course - the grind, fit and finish all look great

Thanks for your input Red ,
im going to make a few all a bit different see which i like the best.

your right though a little narrower and longer should look good cheers mate.

Its got real potential that one Maybe a slightly more rounded clip? Should be a corker

That's a beaut. Look forward to seeing more.

That's a serious looking tool - loads of potential there. Great shape to the handle but I agree with BR, I would personally prefer the swedge to just go with the clip; but a fine effort!.atb mac

That's a beautiful piece of steel! Well done on the grind, I have always liked a good hollow grind.
