There is one out there already, but these are the first three offered for sale to the general populous. 
These are the latest of a design I've been tweaking for awhile (type "busk" into the search box if you're interested). I've put a lot of thought and sweat into these blades and their design, so putting these three out has me as nervous as a kid on the first day of school. 
The knife is designed to be an all around heavy-duty camp/combat knife that is comfortable to use for a variety of tasks. The handle is long (about six inches from the butt to the front of the scales) so you can easily chop with it, or choke up for fine work. The choil gives even more room to choke up and it trails into the edge so material won't be caught in it. A checkered thumb-ramp is placed right were your thumb would naturally lay and all edges are smoothed over except for the spine for those of you that like to smack firestarters.
The handles can be removed for cleaning, and possibly for storage if needed -- ( http://bladeforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=49629&d=1133873246 ). They are also recessed a bit at the butt to allow for driving in tent stakes or whatnot without damaging the handle scales.
You're probably tired of my ramblings, so I'll get to the point -- the blades are 13 1/2 inches overall out of 1/4-inch L-6. They are gun-koted with flat dark grey and can be sent back to me for recoating free of charge if needed.
Price: $275 with Kydex w/ tek-loc or $290 with leather of your carry choice. Right now I have black kydex, but have OD coming in this month (hopefully
). MO, check, and Paypal are all good with me.
so, without further ado:
From top -- flat-ground with black/grey G-10, flat-ground with green canvas micarta, hollow-ground with black/grey G-10
