I like the blade just fine, but it doesn't compare to the handle you have made. I can see the influence of Lin and Karl in that handle, and they have influenced others on this site too. The different style that you have added to the handle is obviously your own and looks to be very much a result of your Scandinavian upbringing. Like Ray said, you will go far as a knifemaker if you stay on your current path. I have seen steady improvement as you have progressed, and you seem to be maintaining your pace with this latest accomplishment.
