Here is the profile of the last blade I made, what are your thoughts and what would you change or keep the same?
 
Looks to have a nice flat, subtle curve and nice tip. What's the approximate length x heel height. I like it.
 
Being very subjective, I would shorten the height to 47~48 mm and make it flatter a greater part of the edge to a gentler curve upwards to the tip, no changes to the spine or its drop. Having said this, it looks great they way you designed it
 
A very nice, balanced profile overall.

The angle of the tang relative to the cutting edge looks spot on to me. Not kicked up too high like some. Still, an extra 2-3mm in blade height at heel would balance the wrist angle a little better.

Cheers

Very nice profile IMO!! :thumbsup:

+1 for everything chinacats said.

+ Perfect length too. My sweet spot for height is 52, but 50 is still tall enough. I like slightly thinner tangs.
