Just finished today! Could use a little help though!

Just finished this ring Fighter and not sure I like the overall look.
Please give some input on blade design and handle material selection for the next one

Ring fighter made from 1/4" 5160,
differentially heat treated and cryo'd. Blade
is 6" long and knife is 11 3/4" OAL. Natural
Linen Micarta handle with brass pins and
thong liner. Full Convex grind.

WOW ! That's an awesome lookin' knife ! !

420V blade in hallow grind and sharpened false edge. . .and carbon fiber scales.

Shoulder harness carry system would top it off perfectly !

Hmmm.... dunno if it's just the picture, but the handle shape of your previous version looked better. I take it the pommel has been reduced on this one (since it has a longer blade length, but a shorter overall length)?

The textured G10 that Kit Carson uses on his F4 neck knife would be great on a fighter. Or canvas micarta, due to it's rougher texture.

I would like it with a recurve on the primary edge. I love that recurve.
Although it really looks good the way it is to me.
