Finished this one up today 
Went for something with a little Persian style flair this time. Still a very usable knife and quite frankly it would make a heck of a camp knife. The long false edge is not sharpened so the affect is similar to the Becker/Fisk BK5 Camp Knife. I tapered the tang and drilled it out with 6 half inch holes. This along with the flat grinds bring total weight down to 13oz!!!! Overall this one is 12 1/2in with a 7 1/2in blade tip to handle. I used 1/4in thick 5160 for this piece. I even added a simple jimping pattern to the blade spine.
