Looking for feedback on a knife I am designing.

Hey guys so over the last few weeks I taught myself how to use Fusion 360 and I have been modeling knives in it for a little while each day. I was wondering if anybody could give me some feedback on one of the knives I modeled, I have attached a picture of it below.

It's a fixed blade Kukri that I call Svinga which is the Nepali word for swing "according to google translate" I chose Nepali because Kukris are thought to have originated from Nepal and India. as far as specs go the blade tang runs the length of the handle. on the either side of the blade tang are handle scales which would be made of some sort of wood and would be fastened using 4 sexbolts. The cutouts in the handle are so that someone could do a paracord wrapping on the handle if they wanted. and the Yin Yang is the because I thought it would be cool not because a Yin Yang is from Nepal, (it originates from China). the blade length is about 9 inches if measure from the tip straight back and about 9.5 inches if measured along the cutting edge.

Please let me know what you guys think or if you have any suggestions, or if you would like to see more pictures. Also if you guys like this thread I have a folding knife in the works that I'm calling the Genome that I'd also love to get your guys' feedback on once it's ready, as well as for another Folder I made called the Jabberwocky.

What's the difference between that and a Kukri ?

Nice.The angle is a little too steep for me and it limits the function of the knife,because you will use only the top portion of the blade.

Am I missing something here? Not sure how this relates to spyderco?

Anyways that handle is too squared off for a chopper IMO. Would you want to fell and limb a tree with that grip? Compare with the Forrester handle:

Yes, the forum name is what you’re missing. We’re in “Off Topic” which is the place to discuss things not Spyderco related.

Or the becker kabar handles, great shape for a secure grip.

I see. Normally there is some sort of note from Kristi indicating this.
