Based this one on some of the old woodsmans knives of yester-year !

Handle height is 1 3/8": Specially designed to provide a firm grip even when wearing thick gloves or mitts in cold weather !

And here is my 2nd entry, I think this would make a great all round field knife:

Here's mine. A JK version of my EDC. Not the most original, but I get asked about this knife all the time ...

I sketched this up a couple of months ago. I'm interested to see what you folks think. On the paper each block is 0.20" of an inch. The blade is supposed to be 1.25" wide just above the handle. The 1.5" stock is to accommodate the swell on the back of the handle.

Here are my "design notes":

1. I specified 1/8 or 3/16 stock in the drawing, on second thoughts, I think it would work better in 1/8 (full convex) or 3/32 (scandi), but it wouldn't bother me to see it ground out in whatever anyone wanted. I'd also be interesed to see John do a knife where he did his typical convexish flat grind and then finished it on the scandi jig. I think this would give a nice thin edge.

2. Blade length and shape, I wanted this to be an all purpose belt knife. I specified the blade just under 4" so it would be legal just about anywhere. I would have no heart burn with a longer blade though. I think the pronounced belly at the forward portion of the blade makes for a good skinner, while the long clip point still makes it pointy enough for piercing the paunch or drilling.

3. On the sketch I over-did the contouring on the handle. I think the handle needs to be fat and contoured, but probably not to the degree shown.

Here is my second submission, I know that I completely copped out on the name.

I guess this set of blades is similar to Fiddlebacks's Hunter/Ladyfinger set. In that the designs are similar with the main difference being one is fat and one is thin.

The majority of the notes (definately the handle ones!:)) I posted about the first design apply to this one as well, but this variant would be more suited to spring carry/fishing, while the wider blade and tip design of the first submission is more geared for hunting/fall carry.

thanks John for the opportunity!

my svelte entry :) 6.0" overall, 2.75" blade; 3/32" O1 full convex

I envision this offered w/ or w/o scales (para-wrapped if preferred )

Here's my entry. Similar (yet different) handle shape as the Lobo, but blade is about 2" shorter. Also decided on 1/8" steel thickness instead of 3/16" like the Lobo. Maybe call it "Coyote."

I`m noticing that some of the drawings are missing specs, such as heigth of blade. Please add this info.
 
If I may play, here's an idea I've been kicking around in my head. Kind of a heavy duty backbacker/edc. :D Sorry for the bad pic, no scanner here.
Handle length 4 3/8
Blade length 3 1/4
Blade width 1 3/8
Blade thickness 5/32-3/16
1/8 extended pommel.

Since the interest in this contest seems really low, I`ve decided to allow 2 entries per person. I`ll be leaving town this coming Monday for a week, with limited internet access. If this contest does not start to show more interest by the time I return, I will end it then.
 
I'm in for the contest, just had very little time this week, but I'm planning to do some design soon. So, I'll be presenting 2 proposals. Thank you Stomper! :)
