This another version of the new design I call the Frontier. Its a clipped point design with a rounded "swedge". it has a straight spine for scraping and a very fine tip. there is a nice belly to the blade and a straight section for carving and slicing. It has a saber grind. It was ground to .0020" for a good cutting profile and a sturdy edge. Made from 1/8" O1 tool steel. Overall length is 8 3/4" with a 4 3/8" blade. It has a few light scratches where I cleaned up the logo (in the pictures) so I am paying the shipping and the paypal fees.
The handle is made from an exotic wood is a light colored African bloodwood. It reminds me of mesquite. It is lined with white and red G10 , and pinned with 3 1/8" nickel silver pins. All the components are bonded with Acraglas. It is a gun bedding material with excellent water resistance and bonding properties that surpass most epoxies.
It is shaped into a generous round shape that is balanced at the index finger to reduce hand fatigue and hot spots.
The sheath is made of 6-7 oz veg tanned leather that was dyed British tan (which is kinda red). I wet formed it to the knife for a snug fit. It was sealed with atom wax and coated in Obanauf's. All edges are hand stitched and sealed.

Very nice work. Great looking handle... the liners blend well with the wood and provide good contrast, without looking flashy or out of place. And the grinds look nice too, that would be a good hunter for sure.
 
I just took delivery of a Frontier model yesterday. Impressive knife and exactly what I was looking for to take along on hunting trips, this is the perfect field dressing knife. Ben is a fine craftsman and has set a new bar for me in blade sharpness, wow! I also have to comment on how comfortable the handle is, a lot of attention to detail went into the design on this one.

Thanks!
