Here are the two prototypes I built when designing a knife for my Nephew Mike. It’s a compact, combat, utility design that I hope serves him well :) Both of these are made from 1/4in 5160 with the tang drilled out for weight reduction. They’re both 10oz each. Overall the knives are 9 1/2in. The blades are 5in tip to handle. The clips are not sharpened but will severely rake materials in a back cut in my tests. The satin finish one wears black G10 scales. The blued one wears Terotuf scales. Both come with Boltaron sheaths with reversible belt loops. The sheaths will also accommodate a large size Tek Lok. The price is $275 shipped in the US for either one.


***Blued finish with Terotuf is sold***

I know these are already sold, but I keep coming back and looking anyway. The blued one is great looking!

Very cool Bill!
 
That is an excellent little design you have there. That blued one is the bee's knee's.

* Picking up a bit of Winkler influence in this design.
I’m not even gonna try to deny a Winkler influence on this design :) Mine is a lot more “me” though. This is what I wish I had with me when I was in the Army. The little Western boot knife I carried pales in comparison.
