Little help Opinons needed...

[petah]

Well this will be getting made for me soon.
Just want to finalize my design.

I came a long ways in this design. Lot's of help from forum peoples.

It's a little bit from everywhere.

.2 thick 3V
Chain ring bolts ( yes Titanium )
random g-10
blade ~6
oal ~11
handle ~5
width ~6 or 7 8ths

So what do you think? why?

I prefer the top design. Aesthetically, it looks well balanced. The small quillon match well with the slim profile. The bottom design is too sharp at the butt of the handle.

As for ramps vs. quillon, that's up to you. Overall, I think it's a slick little dag.

thanks Silver. I finally took you up on that idea of a hand guard after I saw my Girlfriend sisters knife scar on her hand... 12 inches of razor sharp bread knife slipping down her hand... ouch.

yeah hard for me to decide.. I love the quillion also the ramps.... hard decisions...

The second one looks best suited to hammer into a log.......
