That is the perfect size and design for a hunting knife in my opinion.  Beautiful work.  What grit do you sand the blade to before etching it?

at least 320 wet.
to just etch and leave grey.
if you wanna have a gloss finish go to 600 wet  and do a cold vinegar etch then rub out with semichrome polishing compound.

Gorgeous!

I love the shape, the rough surface left on the flats, and the beautiful hamon.  That's some truly lovely work, there.
