This would be my idea of the perfect bowhunting/ great outdoors knife.
Start with a Mini-Jungle (M-J from now on) blade that had either a matte blued finish or a black teflon finish. The handle would be made of either rosewood or teak, would be a little thicker than the standard M-J and would have some tastefull checkering. The tang would be extended, so you could have a pommel with a lanyard hole.
The chakmak would be the same size/profile but would be ground out of a fine diamond file. The edges would be smooth so you can still use it as a burnisher, and the fine file would let you sharpen the blade, broadheads, fish hooks, whatever.
The karda would be made out of a good stainless steel ats-34, 440v, whatever. This would be a good small game/ trout knife and would also give you a good small knife for the times when you need something smaller than the full size blade. The handles of the chakmak and karda would also be checkered wood.
There would be two sheaths. The first would be a kydex sheath that would feature multi-carry options, and would have holders for the Chakmak and karda. The other would be a leather sheath like the original, but the brass tip would be decorated. The frog would be made of thicker leather, and would have some tastefull tooling done on the band.
The idea here is that the kydex would be you using sheath, and the decorated leather sheath would be your display sheath.
