The Personal Defence Tool (P.D.T.) will be coming this weekend. It`s a kiridashi style knife, that will be priced at $40 shipped, with sheath.

I added a signup list in the next post

Here are a couple of photos of one I ground out, but not heat treated yet.

These are meant as a "last ditch" type tool (notice how I said tool, and not weapon), and are 5" overall, 1" tall, and made from 1/8" O1 steel. The large 1/2" hole is for your thumb and index finger to grip it, the 1/4" hole is for a short lanyard to pull it from the sheath. These are chisel ground, buyers choice of right or left side ground.

Yup. Count me in. And what if you were going to put on a handle?

I could put on 1/8" thick micarta slabs for $50, or 1/4" thick micarta for $55. They would still have the holes for gripping and lanyard. I`m going to start a signup list at the top of this thread for those who are interested.
 
Count me in for one, 1/4"' with jade ghost green scales, left side grind. I am going deer and elk hunting in Oregon starting Thursday, I will be back around the 25 th. If it is going to be completed by mid Nov
like the Nessmuk I will pay for them together if that's ok. I will have my IPhone with me, but no access
to bank or post office. Just let me know.

I'm thinking that I want a plain one with a slim kydex sheath. I'd like to be able to use the rounded end as a cap popper. Have you seen the pocket tools that have a slight bevel on the rounded end for use as a prybar? What do you think?

I actually have one of those tools here somewhere. So, do you mean the same shape as the PDT already is, but with a slight bevel on the end?
 
Exactly. And move the lanyard hole back a bit to accommodate the bevel.

Back toward the blade just enough to clear the pry end bevel.

I think this is going to sell well. I want a clip on the sheath too, John, just like on the pocket scandi you made me.
 
John, I just noticed that the rounded end is rounded a bit heavier on the top side. Since I'm using this end as a pry bar, can you grind it uniformly round. Thanks.
