Looking for a hawkbill/wharny f/b to EDC horizontally on my belt, (around 7" overall).

David Mary: River Hawk
Ban Tang: Evio Shiv

Please recommend some others.

Price range?

A few of you have tried blades I cut by hand like these ones, and have said that you liked them. I am going to be making more like these, in .100" AEB-L first (just over 3/32"), and possibly other steels and thicknesses down the road. If they are successful in the first run, MagnaCut is a...
