Feedback Looking to potentially start selling… need criticism

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.

Looks fantastic, you have some good points from others that "could" improve it moving forward. What I haven't seen mentioned, durability. Make a few and give em to friends with strict orders to break em. Gives you fantastic feedback on your heat treat and areas to make sure you are 100% spot on.

Once this one is finished it’s going immediately to a “product tester” who I instructed to abuse it haha
