A little change from my usual style. The curved handle provides a low slung, low center of gravity that lays the knife in a ready position in the hand. A very comfortable knife to use.

Hollow ground
High polished finish
Green canvas Micarta handle
Overall length:9 3/4 inches
Blade 4 3/4 inches
Hand sewn leather scabbard

I have no use for an upper edge on a working knife. A defense knife is another matter. That upper edge will do a lot of damage going in and out.
 
Gerry,
The description says Green micarta, but the pix look bronze or even gold in color... Is it lighting in the pix or misprint in the description.

Very nice nife by the way.

I bought it as green but now that it's on the nife it does look a little bronze; it's not just the lighting.
 
Nope, it is a false edge. I often wonder the value of a sharp upper edge on a working knife. Anyone have opinions on that?

I somtimes push on the spine for a more controlled cut, like cutting a nylon tie wrap. In this case a false edge is prefered. Especially with a knife as good looking as this one. Wouldn't want to fly through the tie wrap and ding the blade on something.
 
Mr Drew,
Me and Jason enjoyed meeting ya at the Greensboro gun show!!

Anywho

I am with Dino...I want my swedge belveled by not sharpened...maybe some serrations up top of it to aid in rope cutting but that is just me
