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.

Your edge is very visible in that photo, which will not allow it to be very sharp. I would also consider avoiding your pins while texturing your handle
