I like it.......I bet she'll love it!
May I suggest a slight taper at the front of the handle scales though.....will make it slide into a sheath easier, as well as improve the overall look and grip feel.
That blade shape should be a great for use in the kitchen or in the back country :thumbsup:

I second what Darcy says.
She's gonna love it.
Beautiful blade! I'm betting she loves it!
