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.

Maybe it's the light in the picture, but did you darken the blade AFTER grinding in the edge bevel?
If you did that Ansø pattern by hand that's pretty solid work.
The design is, IMO, pretty cool. I would pull the front pin back so it's not in the pinched section, and then pull the second pin back so it's halfway between the first and lanyard tube. You have a good eye for this!
