So I let him use my grinders, it's to small for my hands. Good shape or not?

if it was his first time at the grinder, I'd say great job. Not sure the shape lends itself to anything useful, but who knows.
back when we used to eat housecats we marinated them in louisiana hot sauce and soy sauce then season them with lemon pepper........then onto the grill slow cooking them 3 hours........excellent folded in tortillas and pico de gallo----Newgulf

Good job for first time; as far as shape, not sure what it's going to be used for. The downward pressure is not going to be great. To me, and I'm sure not an expert on knife design, it would be better for slicing, also it's going to be weird making a sheath for it.

Kind of looks like a skinner, handle a little longer, a index finger hole. Like the design for rolling the wrist while skinning.

The blade looks OK to me but not sure I like that handle. Blade should make a good skinner.
A clear conscience is often the sign of a fuzzy memory.

I like the blade profile but the handle looks better suited for ironing.

Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

Double wrap the handle in leather strip and then dip in shellac. Just a wild idea I had.
