This one is based on the old Marbles Woodcraft, and is about 8 3/4" overall.

 
Thats a nice one. I can see alot of use in that blade.

What would you call that blade shape? A humped straight back, a modified drop point... :p
 
Very nice. As a side note, how many JK Original knives are out there? I was recently sharpening mine and it is as much knife as any I own. You really make great long lasting tools, John.
 
I have an old Shrade like that. It's thin blade takes a ridiculous edge. It's my go to blade when I need something cut really thin. I had to look to make sure. It's the Schrade Walden 147. If I had to use one of my factory blades I would grab it first.

I think there were 10 made.
 
Cool idea, John!

It might be just me, but I find that knives that have a downward curve from the handle to the blade, like Cooper's Crooked Creek, and the Esee Izula for instance, are more effective cutters.

That said, I have not tried too many knives that have the opposite curvature, such as your take on the Marbles -

Interesting....

It all depends on what I'm doing. In the kitchen I agree, upswept is best.
 
Me want!
The Woodcraft is what the Personal Camp brought to mind when I first saw it, I just couldn't remember the name.
This'll be my next, in Walnut to go with my Texan 336.
