Knife of your dreams
So it all started with an idea, after 1 month of hard work it is done , here are some specs
Hand forged
80CRV2 Finnish Krupp high carbon steel
Zero degree scandi grind
59-60HRC hardness
Gaboon Ebony handle
Brass pins , tube and 0.5mm spacers
Covered with 5 coats of boiled linseed oil
Tapered tang
21cm from bottom to tip , 10cm recurve blade , 3,2mm thick
Best quality Polish veg tan leather sheath with basket weave decorations, burnished and covered with natural beeswax
I also think about making a matching huge ferro rod if the buyer will want one
Your honest opinion is more than welcome , just consider that it was all hand made , all made with files even the bevel , only power tool used was a drill to make holes

Thank you very much ! I know it's not that special compared to what you make crash !
Any constructive criticism you can give me ?

Nothing to criticize. It looks good and it looks like it would be comfortable in the hand. The only thing I cannot comment on is the heat treat and well well it works. The steel you used is very similar to 1080, which is fairly easy to heat treat. If you achieved the desired hardness and it holds an edge then you are good to go.

No critique. Looks gorgeous to me.
