Fixed blades

A couple Wharncliffes heading to a new home soon. Devil's Toenail in MAGNAMAX and Talon in Cruwear:

I've got a sort of theme going.. also my taste has moved to more manageable sizes. I still have many large blades and make them. I'm leaning more to 4-6" blades personally though. That being said, large is relative.. these are probably very large knives for many, particularly with the rising popularity of EDC fixed blades.
4-6 inch range is perfect for 99.9% of the things I use a knife for. I’ve sold the vast majority of my knives off because I didn’t use them.. a 5 inch belt knife with good geometry is a constant companion though.

The middle knife - dead center in your pic, PERFECT. You’ve got some serious talent man ! I need to pick up one of your blades sooner than later.
 
They get some of this too.

Note the correct usage of a lanyard.

Some people think you just slip a lanyard over your wrist but that way is super dangerous. If grip fails, the knife swings back into your leg or groin. But with the around the back of the hand lanyard method, your grip can fail up to 90% like above and the knife stays in your hand.
