I like the blade alot, but not the shape of the handle. Put that blade and keep the length, and put it on a SFNO style mag handle and you've got a winner in my book. This handle tries to mimic an old school military pommel style handle, what Randall calls a "border patrol" style handle. Problem is that's a classic design, and it doesn't pull it off to do it in G-10 and just mold it to that shape. It works when you have classic materials and design, like a wood or leather handle with brass or nickel pommel and guard. But all in G-10 it just looks weird and out of place. I love the blade and the fuller though. And I like the straight off the edges guard. Good stuff! Just put it on a handle that's appropriate for the materials being used. I think the SFNO handle would fit it just right.
