Bushcraft knife design input needed

after playing around with a lot of different knives, this is the design I came up with for my 'perfect' Bushcraft blade. 6 inches, of .28 thick A2 steel. Handle is oval, very thick, and of Green Canvas Micarta. After a year and a half, I still think it is just about perfect.
It cuts, shaves wood, batons, performs kitchen chores, and carves with ease.

Thanks for all the comments guys! You see, its hard to make a knife that will please everyone. Everyone has their own tastes so thats why Im trying to do different patterns.

Yup but if you come up with a knife everyone likes you'll be a millionaire. :D Nice looking sheath system BTW.
 
KFU, your knives look great. I love the old world look of them. The only thing that stands out to me, and this is mostly aesthetics, the front of the sheath looks like the back of a sheath. I like a firesteel loop but I feel like a sewn on loop would go better with the rustic/old world feel of the knife, or perhaps some copper rivets. Screws can work loose and a firesteel is not something to lose. It is hard to make a sheath with all those carry option that does not look too busy. I may be the only one. I hope you do not mind this kind of input. I agree about the wood/liner combo on the bushcrafter, it is beautiful.
 
Grafton, I don't mind at all man. Im always looking for something more people would like. I actually had the loops sewn on at first but I had multiple people that didn't want the loop so we came up with a removable one.
 
That makes sense. I gotta have a loop. Who doesn't want the loop?...must be those Bic loving SOBs :D
 
I love that sheath, that is some nice work. I was very tempted to buy that knife when you listed it for sale, then I realized that would require money, ha.
