constructive criticism

Hey guys below are some pictures of a type of sheath that I am making. I have made 4 of these sheaths, but after talking to a sheathmaker I'm wondering if I should change them. I cut a notch in the welt so the blade locks solid into place. He thinks there should be no open side of the sheath just on top. The open side he is refering to is where the opening extends downward onto the edge side of the sheath. He said it was too much open area. He also said the bottom should be more square than rounded. On the edge side of the blade he said the stitch line should be nearly straight up to the middle set of pins on the knife, and definitley not double stitch lined in the spot at the top. I would appreciate any comments from ya'll to help me out. Thanks in advance. Ryan Minchew
