That's about as close to a perfect "actual working" man's knife as you can get... Ask me how I know.

Nicely done :thumbup:

The blade shape looks almost like a combination of a Kephart and a Canadian belt knife, has the spear point but also some belly for skinning. Great work to get the blade to look like that.
