I had a request from an avid hiker/outdoorsman for a general purpose knife for his daily travels in the woods. He gave me a general size range and wanted some sort of dark g-10 for the handle. The knife had to be tough enough to use hard but small enough to want to carry. The guy is a former LEO so I picked colors that I thought might suit a 'tactical' interest, though I hate that word for how it's applied towards knives these days.

Anyway, here it is.

Specs
1080+ steel, .178" at the ricasso
8 3/4" overall, 4 1/4" blade
Black g-10 dovetailed bolsters
OD green g-10 scales
Black micarta pins
Tapered tang
False edge, not sharpened
Agressive thumb grip but all sharp edges knocked off

Very nice. Did you notice that your compass changed when you turned your knife around for the second shot? :)

Thanks for sharing.

Very, very, very nice! (did I say very enough?) :D

Nice photos btw; the REI stormproof matches and compass are a nice touch... :thumbup:

Looks like the knife will serve him well.
