B.D.U. Scout

[BenR.T.]

Here is a knife I just finished up in my in my B.D.U. format(Battle, Duty, Utility). They all feature an integral guard and glass breaker pommel.
This one is my scout model. It combines the heavy duty features of a service knife, with the versatile shape of drop point.
The handle is OD green micarta with orange G10 liners. The OAL is 9.75", with a 4.5" blade of .214" 5160 carbon steel.
Let me know what you guys think.

I like the blade shape and the grinds. Not full flat but high enough saber grind for me. What I don't like, from an utilitarian POV, is the pointy pomel. I know it has a meaning but anyway, I think it will interfere with normal use. I would prefer to have a bit of tang protruding like some Falknieven knives (F1, S1, A1). Granted they are not pointy, but i think they could suffice for breaking a glass or something. Other than that, handle shape seems boxy but if you find it comfortable, that's enough for me.

Keep up the good work!
