Which knife style do you guys think is the best for "all around" use? I'm trying to think of one that would cover most knife uses, then offer it at a very special price if there was interest in a group buy. Maybe even a serial numbered run.
 
I second the kepthart design. I've been kicking around the idea of a tad smaller straight back kept art with thin scales to replace my ontario rat3 knife. I got it back somehow it appeared on my desk after I had some words with Co workers. I just don't like the sererated portion of it. But the pocket slip is good to go.
 
I'm still due for a Mud Turtle.

Is there a chance denim micarta and copper pins would be an option?

jbarsquat has posted pictures of his Compact Kephart straight back here somewhere.
 
I see you mentioned green micarta option in another post. Do you have a pic of it on one of your knives, I don't recall seeing it before ?

It seems like all my pictures have disappeared. I do show it on my website, and will also be posting a picture of a knife next week that has it.
 
John I have a long drive tomorrow. I'm gonna think about the tracker design it's at 16 plus inches right now which is a little out of control. Or is it?

The longest I can fit in my furnace is just under 13".

Ask and you shall receive. I rounded the first inch in front of the handle to make it more comfortable for kitchen chores.

ETA also included a mini grip and a couple others that happened to be in the kitchen for a size comparison
 
personally I fine a drop point or semi-spear to be the most versatile pattern overall - like your bushcrafter series had.
alternatively, for kitchen duty - the santoku or semi-wharncliffe gets the most use here.
 
I like the kephart a lot straight back or traditional. Also anything clip point or semi wharnclif does good for everyday tasks imo.
