Knife making - Classy pocket knives

Playing around with a new design. I kind of like this size for a picket knife. It fits so good in the watch-pocket of my jeans! I was unlucky and damaged the back bolsters on the second one, in my vice. It left a permanent tool-mark. I think i may make a flute over it. Don't know yet! I hope you guys like it!
