Blades with "Belly"

[1581zebra]

Thanks for showing this, Railsplitter. I like the look of that pronounced belly. :thumbup::thumbup:
I have not seriously considered GEC's small barlow but your pictures (and the quality of their work) make me want to give this a try in the pocket. Looks stout but unobtrusive. Nice.

Bingo. They are exactly this- like little tanks. (and I do find them plenty useful )
I can dig a blade not being "just another" spear or clip. Different can be good as long as it doesn't sacrifice it's utility to do it.
