Mike, I think you've done it. The "All Purpose" knife. It has a deep belly for skinning, dropped point for ease of gutting, the bowie clip and double guard for fighting, the 5 degree tang angle for kitchen work, the comfort contoured lightweight wooden grip of a camp knife and a very pleasing overall first impression appeal. You've used correct materials to make it collectable too. I love it. Whats the sheath look like?

Thanks to all of you who looked, and YES it does fill good in the hand

Very well done. An excellent interpretation of "general purpose" in blade and haft. Even the asymmetric guard "works" visually.

It's pretty for the abuse I subject my hard use knives too, one for the display cabinet for sure.

Cheers,
