New little utility/fighter/whatever you want to call it

[Daniel Rohde]

Hey Guys! Just finished a new pattern and want your thoughts!

Overall is 8 1/2"
Blade is 3 3/4"
Steel is 1095...I'm gonna start using some newer steels in my knives here soon also..just an FYI

Here she is:

This was when I was shaping it...gives a good idea of the wood color

I'd really love some thoughts on the design! it was a fun one at least.

The handle shape calls to mind an Ottoman yatagan.

 

[navman]

That is an excellent blade shape! Beautiful piece.

Super clean, bud. :thumbup:

Great knife, and you photography is stunning!

 

[RedFury]

Usually I only like drop point hunters with a nice guard so this one violates all my rules but......... I LIKE IT. I like it so much I saved the images. How much did you have to fiddle to get that to feel good in your hand?
Thanks for the fresh shot of inspiration.

can't take my eyes off the handle long enough to give a proper assesment, but it looks really well put together. love the tapered tang into the hidden lanyard. great package

Very Kool knife!

I like the profile and love the handle! The three pins in the butt end, are they wood? Osage?

Daniel, I loved that knife when I saw it in the other thread. I make a similar pattern, and it's my most popular non kitchen knife. Owners rave about the comfort of the handle. Yours has a bit more pronounced but, but it's quite similar otherwise.

Thanks Warren! Yeah, it is pretty pronounce...but as you say it is a pretty comfortable style though it looks rather odd

Very nice looking design, I like it a lot.

Thanks Scott!

Thanks Mate!

Does not look odd my my old eyes -- looks yummy! Nice flow the whole piece and nicely counterpointed between the soft long flow of the handle and the well defined edges and strong point of the blade. I also liked the display of the knife in the one image. Anyone should really enjoy owning that one. I find it high on the artistic scale of knife making. Well done indeed.
