This one came about from some client requested design features. Kinda cool really as it’s suitable for large and small knife chores around camp. The Macassar Ebony came out great I think! I started the ordered knife and decided to make one more using the green canvas Micarta. So glad I did :) They weight 16oz each and are roughly 12in OA with 7in blades tip to handle. I added a little filework/jimping for a little flare and traction. Bothe are made from 1/4in 5160 and have tapered tangs.

I just got one of these into my hands and it is a terrific knife. Large enough to do heavy work, but compact enough to make you willing to take it along. Bill has really hit this one out of the park. Whether you choke up on the knife and use it as a 4-5" cutting tool, or hold it near the end of the grip to chop as you would with an 8-9" blade, it feel comfortable and secure.

Go for it, you'll like it.
