This is a new model prototype, that I am calling the B.D.U., Battle-Duty-Utility. Corny I know, but I like Acronym's. :D
The final version of this knife will vary slightly, mostly a smaller choil.
This is also the very first knife ever (that I am aware of anyway) sporting what I am calling Thunderstorm Micarta. It is an industrial grade kevlar phenolic impregnated with brass fibers, kinda cool huh! :cool: Anyway here are the specs- 11" Oal, 6" blade of .214" thick 5160.

that turned out great man.
 
I like that a lot especially the "straight from heat treat" finish on the flats. At least that's what I think that (un)finish is, correct me if I'm wrong.
 
Very Nice Ben. That scale material is really cool. Where'd ya Get it?
 
Nice Ben!!! I love that one. Great shape on the blade and the handle as well.

I agree with Ryan, sweet burlap micarta. Nice job!
 
Thanks guys. The clip is brought to a near zero edge, not shavin' sharp though.
