These knives follow the continual refinement and handle variation of my Survival/Utility design. The handles are ergonomically contoured to provide comfort in all holding positions and have a matte finish to increase grip. The knives rest and balance ideally in hand and have been designed with blade, edge and handle geometry to perform a multitude of tasks with ease.

For those of you looking to buy American, although the knives are made by me in Canada, all materials are made in and purchased from the U.S.

Such a clean design. Somebody will be very happy to own that knife. Your M4 chopper is one of my all time favorites!
 
Really nice! Those look like they would be just as handy in the kitchen as they would outdoors!

I think this design would do reasonably well in the kitchen but for that use I have made very thin (0.060" blade steel) knives, mostly following the Japanese Gyuto design of various lengths and blade heights with a very fine edged flat grind, thinner handles, no guard and shorter handles to allow for a proper pinch grip.
 
I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words, compliments, and interest in my knives, much appreciated.
 
No takers as of yet...

I will be posting other variations as well as other designs over the next few days for those interested...
