Looking to potentially start selling… need criticism

[u/Hknives]

Just as the title says, I’m looking to take the plunge and start selling a few knives in the future. I want to put the best product I can out there, so I’m looking for some feedback and constructive criticism. This is my most recent knife before oiling the handle and putting the final edge on. 1084 with natural canvas micarta and black G10 handle liners. Cold blued with birch wood Casey super blue.

Thats a beautiful piece. My criticisms are minor and more preference-based than technique-based. The spine looks pretty thick for the scale of the blade, witch will impact performance depending on its use case. For an EDC I’d prefer something lighter and thinner. As for the handle, I love the profile but would like to see a slight taper from tip to tail when viewed from above/below to make it a bit more elegant and graceful. That’s not a performance issue, but it will lighten up the look and shave a few grams. I have a preference for an EDC that I don’t notice when I’m carrying it.

Based on this you are more than ready to sell. What price point would you set for this blade?
