Wouldn't a handyman be pretty close to what you want then?

Nope. I like the Handyman, don't get me wrong...it's just not pointy enough to suit me personally and I'd like more drop to the edge like the Woodsman has. More like a French Trade pattern like the Woodsman :)

The Woodsman has about 5.2 inches of cutting edge, so I'm good with it in the woods and in the kitchen, not I want a mini I can edc in an urban environment :)

That's a serious work record! It looks like a great knife.

Have you had any experience with the Forager model? It seems to be a great all around camp knife without being too heavy. I also love it's clip and curves.

I have not had any experience with the Forager beyond handling them at Blade. I like the model a lot. I have it's little brother a Rapscallion i love. I would love a Forager in tapered 3/16 for the extra forward mass and inertia development for my uses. I'd love to take that foraging this next autumn :)

This is the Rapscallion It's A2 so it will take longer to patina :)

You are making me hungry! Thanks for the insight--those specs seem right to me as well. It's little brother is a handsome kid.

I love the Rapscallion, like a butcher knife with attitude :)

And this is how it happens... I'll get the Forager, and realize that a smaller version would be great too. Though the Asp, Recluse, and Sneaky Pete have all been on my radar lately... ;)

And the Camp Knife... there is one available now; if the pull for a Forager was not so great, it would have been the Camp Knife first.

I saw some Gamblers, the next one down from the Rapscallion, in the preview so they should be available somewhere soon also. I like the Camp knife. It's bigger and beefier than the Forager, but the Forager has more personality :)
 
Totally agreed with regard to personality and the Forager. It seems to channel a frontier/ old west bowie spirit... and that makes it special in my eyes.
