My latest sharp thing

This is the latest addition to my stable. Due to work commitments it’s been ongoing for several weeks now and has mainly been the result of lots of 10-15 min sessions (hopefully it hasn’t resulted in to much of a disjointed end product). This is made using 4mm 1095 steel with olive wood scales. The cutting edge is 4 1/2 inches and it comes in at 9 inches overall length. The grind isn’t a true Scandi as I’ve given it a small secondary bevel (just my personal preference). There’s no prizes for guessing what I’ve based it on but it’s a design I’ve always liked but not tried making until now.
Thanks for looking and as always advice and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again. James :)

A great looking knife, love the colouring of the sheath as well, perfect :)
 
Due to the wet weather I actually got a rare (for this time of year) couple of days off which gave me the opportunity to knock this up. It’s a smaller companion to the previous knife made using 3mm 1070 steel. The cutting edge is a smidge under 3 inches, this time with a convex grind and it has an overall length of 7 inches. The scales are olive wood fitted with brass pins and again I’ve given it a relatively simple sheath of 3mm leather.
Thanks for looking :)
