Gorgeous knife, they look good but I find the odd rule looks better to me. I like the small pins a lot, I think if it had just one large pin in the middle it would have looked better. Overall a fantastic build.
I like
nice wood -> less / simpler pins
simple wood -> more / fancier pins

Looks great overall but a few too many pins for my taste.
thank you! i had considered doing a center pin as you mentioned but i feel like it had to be a larger pin than the rest the small ones being .125 and the larger ones being .25~ and the only size up from there i have right now is half inch and it would have been too big imo. thank you for being so kind though!
hm, interesting thought process about that, i haven't thought about it super intensely but i have walked within that subconsciously. thank you as well
Looks like a weighty handle, but if used/balanced with a pinch grip, a relief to the front of the scales is a nice touch.
Agree with the above comments about pins. I like simpler and odd number. Also, simple handle with fancy pins, fancy handle with simple pins. Same goes for handle and blade combo. Too busy detracts from the overall work that goes into the details.

thank you! im gonna tweak the placement a little bit as time goes on. but i like the concept a lot
With the damascus, the wavy wood and the starry pins, it's another van Gogh contestant!
Thank you!!! thats such a compliment!
