Looks good for a first try.
The blade looks pretty good, you did a nice linear finish on it. I always use leather and I put another layer of thin leather if I have rivets that will slide up against the blade and especially the handle. Use a piece of leather to cover where the back of the snap is. Just use a very small piece of leather or thick cloth, just enough to cover the back of the snap where it touches the handle and simply super glue it there, the glue will work, just use a little bit.
Now for some constructive criticism. I hope those tubes holding the handle on are not full of epoxy as they look like they are filled with ground G10 in the pics? If there is glue in there you can drill it out. Also something else, Hope that helps.
What metal did you use and how did you heat treat it by the way?
