Hello, my fine fellow human!
This model is called Mr. Kotter. He will always be around to help you out, and when work needs to get done- welcome back!
The AEB-L blade was cryogenically quenched for extra radness, has a hollow ground primary bevel and a robust appleseed secondary bevel. The handle frame is canvas micarta, and is held to the G10 and Richlite handle scales via 4, 2mm stainless steel pins. You can actually see them because I left them a little too long and used a little thinner handle material than I should. The pins holding the handle together are canvas micarta plus a 9/32" brass tube. There is no metal touching the tang, so the handle is at least a little bit isolated should you accidentally poke this knife into an electric outlet or a live wire.
The sheath is 9oz veg tan leather, dyed and hot packed. Hand stitched with heavy waxed polyester thread, and I used a different technique than I usually do and the stitching looks pretty dope to my eye.
Approx weight of knife; 3.75oz
Approx weight of sheath; 2.55oz
Blade length; 3 3/4"
Overall length; 7 1/2"
Steel thickness; .14"
Handle width; .73"
I hope that you are enjoying time with family/friends/yourself this Thanksgiving weekend- Cheers!

I would like to purchase one
I bet you'd like A2 for your work, it's got a nice, fine grain and can get quite hard so edge stability is pretty great, but the carbides aren't super hard so it's easy to keep super keen. Not the toughest or the most wear resistant, but great for a small working knife which doesn't get out in the weather too too much
