Here's a VERY rough sketch of what I had in mind. I'm going to work on refining it and see if it's something I want built under the Customer Designed Knife concept if John would accept it. I'm guessing the handle thickness would be an extra charge since it's wider than normal.

Overall Length: 8"
Max Height: 1 1/4"
Thickness: 1/8" O1

Blade Length: 3 5/8" (Would actually probably change this 3 1/2" so it would be under the Colorado knife length law)
Blade Height: 7/8"
Scandi Grind
Handle Length: 4 3/8"
Handle Height swells from 7/8" to 1 1/4" (Not sure if it swells too much)
Handle Width swells from 3/4" to 1"
Round Handle

Looks like a good example, and doable.

Thanks. I'd go for a longer blade too, but was trying to stay within the 8" max length laid out by John. I need a bigger handle for my XL hands so the blade length takes a hit.
 
Hum I didn't see the eight inch length restriction. that makes more sense I thought it was due to laws where you lived. John is very accommodating though. I'm sure he would make it however we each wanted. he is good like that :) everything he has made for me I have had him make it bigger for some reason. Maybe I'm over compensating for something in real life :)
