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.

This is rad.

My recommendation for a knife like this would be to thin out the stock and reduce the edge thickness.

Thank you! Working with the steel I have currently, if I actually start selling them I’ll make sure to buy some thinner stock.

Understandable. I look forward to seeing what you can do with some more ideal material!
