I also wanted to thank John for his hard work and his great personality.

Thank you for re-posting the photos! I am planing to do more extensive testing, mostly cutting and slicing, since this is primary task for this knife.

Right now I can tell that knife feels very robust, even though I chose to use thinner steel for blade. The center of mass is exactly at first large rivet after two small ones, which makes the knife a bit bottom heavy. In turn, that made Weasel more maneuverable.

By the way, John, your way of handle shaping works. I begin to think that initial handle design a-la puukko for draw cut is not such a great idea for Weasel. After all, there will be a lanyard loop to make draw easier.
