Nice! I assume you can do push and pull cuts with it ?

yup it is an awesome push cutter which is how I will mainly use it and for roll cuts, corners and curves.

What are the blade dimensions?  I'm not very good at judging things spatially and don't have a great sense of the scale from the closeup photos.

Looks really good.

So you use it kind of like a head knife or half moon knife? I mean you push it through rather than pulling it?

I like the shape of the handle with the small protrusions that you can rest you thumb against.
One of the awls that I use for saddle work at home (curved round awl) I turned a handle for a couple of years ago, and I used it extensively this time and I was amazed at how much extra control and force it gives to be able to push something with the thumb. I never really thought of it when I made the handle, I think I was inspired by some awl haft that I saw, but it really makes a big positive difference in my opinion.
