Patch Knife / Hunting Blade

[JBird]

Curious what you guys think, I got in a knife making mood last year and this was one of them. It's been sitting in a drawer since.

Started out more modern in blade and handle shape, but I messed up the grind and tried to "salvage" it by reshaping the blade and handle. Still doesn't really look the part.

I believe it's 1/8" 1080 with Osage handles. Not sure on length, so primer for scale.

It'll take an edge, not sure how well my heat-treat will hold up though. Y'all think it'll be out of place with a bag or on the hip?

Not sure on length,

(?),,,,,honest?
What "part" is it supposed to fit? I don't get it,,,,

Nice and simple. Well done! A good enough design for all purpose use. Only issue is a minor one, and that is the use of brass pins. Early knife pins are iron. At least 99% of them.

I think it looks good, maybe not quite exactly HC but don't think it'll get ya kicked out of most rondys, LOL. Would make a great bag/patch knife. MHO
