Yep looking good, that blade looks very similiar to my first made from a saw blade many years ago. Keep at it Jean-Vincent.

Not real sure what a cm is, but it looks great no matter how you measure it.     ;)

Great job. There is much fun to be had making knives and now your part of it. Congratulations.  As far as lessons go I am sure many of the questions you have can be answered right here in this forum. There are also many great resources like The American Bladsmaith Society.  Please keep up the good work and share it here

Nice, knife! Like that handle.
Step lightly, and shoot a trad bow.
