Fixed Blade with Buckeye Burl

I finished this knife yesterday. Might have been done sooner, but I had some technical difficulties :oops:. The blade material is CPM154 with mirror finished bevels and swedge. The flats were taken to 320 grit satin finish. The bolsters are 416 S/S also in a mirror finish. The handles are some California buckeye burl which is one of my favorite wood. The knife also has a tapered tang and dovetailed bolsters The OAL is right about 9 3/4". The blade, from tip to the bolsters is 5" with a cutting edge of 4 1/2". I'd welcome comments, critiques, etc. Thanks!

Dennis, Ted, and Rick, thank you and it is wicked sharp. I sliced myself open pretty good violating shop safety 101 leaving the blade exposed when I reached for something I dropped while sanding. I think my dna is on the vast majority of my knives lol.
