Hey guys, last summer I had this idea floating around in my head so I drew it out then did some cardboard protos haha. Anyway once I got a comfortable design I put it up. Just recently I had made another purchase from Jake and decided he was who I wanted to do my design. Its CPM154, with black textured G-10, a bronze liner ( which I think looks awesome ) and its bolted versus pinned. Jake did excellent execution, by the way the stuff near the choil is just some dirt or kydex.

Specs: .200 inches thick, comes to a beefy yet very pointy tip too.
Overall length 7.75" inches
Handle: 4.25" inches
Blade height at tallest point 1"
High Flat grind

Looks pretty cool! :) Curious about the dimensions... what use you have in mind for it?
 
Thanks guys. My intended use is an EDC, I gave it a sweeping belly because I figured that would help in cutting tasks. I think it woulf do well as a skinner as well. I cant remember specs sinces its been gone awhile. I will update with pics once its in hand. By the way, I gave the design to him so others can get it ect. He made it for a very reasonable price IMO.
 
what is the purpose behind the funky "grooves/channels" on the bottom-back of the handle and midway up the spine? They look more than jimping
 
Those were just something that Jake Added for character. I like it. Jake does some unique stuff, that has a rugged look that I love.

Will do when it arrives at my house :). He sends it out tomorrow so I will have a few more comparison pics ect once its in hand. Jake did an awesome job and I know he loves the feedback. His turnaround time is super fast too when he isn't really booked.
 
I would definitely buy one of those. I hope he makes more.
 
Wicked design, sweet build!
May I ask how much that cost you?
I had some cool designs kicking around in the back of my head and I think they may actually have their chance!

Not at all man. Total was 120.00 plus shipping. He made the sheath and everything for it as well. Like I said I didnt think that was bad at all considering he makes it out of CPM154.
