Heres the prototype for the new Combat/Survival. 6 inch blade of 1/4 inch ATS34, just over 1.5 inch wide. Full flat grind, edge is not as thinly ground as my other knives, but this one is desgined for bigger jobs. Just as sharp as my other knives, goes through wood pretty well, still have to torture test it, but wanted a pic first. Handle is of Diamond wood for the proto, since hey its mine, and I have alot of the stuff. Standard handle will be micarta. Full , nontapered tang. Handle is fastened on with a Silicon based glue, and 4 flared tubes. Let me know what you guys think - seriously - need some feedback on the design etc. I may be sending this one and the other new fixed blade out for a pass around, so some of you can get a hands on feel for it. Thanks for looking -- Charles
