This is such a wonderful little knife.

It doesn't fit in any category. It holds limited purpose. The blade is short and stubby, the handle is full and fat, none of the details seem to match one another, and yet the overall form has a strange appeal that I just can't reconcile.

Really, just like a Pug. A nearly purposeless dog with bad dimensions that somehow wins you over with it's charm.

For this one, the 3" blade is .200" thick Crucible CPM3v, hand satin finished, with a beveled spine and squidgey bit under the ricasso, and a hand-finished fuller. The simple oval guard is black G10, and the frame handle underneath the carbon fiber lace is carbon fiber, as well.

In order to break up the monochromatic appearance, I elected to use a pair of superb 'sakura' or cherry blossom menuki in gold plated sterling silver, and I think they push the knife right over the top.

Thanks for looking!
 
That sure is one fine fingernail cleaner, weeeee doggy! (Pug intended lol).

Seriously though, that is a neat knife. The fuller looks awesome on there.
 
it's adorable! Add it to the list of MGregory knives that I'd love to have but am disallowed from having, lol
looks like it would work really well for whittling and stuff
 
Hey Coop! From the tip of the blade to the front of the guard is 3-3/16", and from the butt to the back of the guard is a touch over 4-1/2", with an overall length of just over 7-3/4".

I think you'll be able to tell me what you think of it in a bit... ;)

Exemplary. All of it.

THAT is a 3" blade? Optical illusion. Looks even less. 7.5" OAL?

Really liking this one. Unique, gorgeous, and definitely useful with that beauteous, hand finished, fullered, CPM 3V blade. The menuki really do add great character to this knife. Mike

A cool "little" knife, that has such "big" potential, in many areas. I still think that "Puggy" is a perfect moniker for this puppy. I really like the clean looking plunge line, the shaped handle, the guard, and the gold menuki.

Another awesome knife from my favorite knife maker. Can't wait to see 2018 projects!!! (and steal ideas from you.....like in 2017, and 2016, and 2015, and 2014, and 20xx.......) hee hee!
 
Less of a PUG and more of a little old - very sophisticated and classy, one might say, uptown - grand mother.
I can smell the perfume and powder from here :thumbsup: :).

I like it !
