Sold! Thanks again! 
This is a new design that I have been working on called the "Riptide". I have had a lot of requests for a Pikal/Edge In style blade, and the Riptide seems to fit the bill nicely. The Riptide would make an excellent EDC defensive blade or "anti gun grab" tool.
The blade is made from 1/8" A2 steel. I performed all heat treat and tempering operations. The blade is tempered to 60 - 61 HRC for excellent edge holding characteristics. The blade features a two tone satin finish that is very attractive and practical.
The handle is constructed from black G10 that is secured to the tang via 4 screws. The tang is skeletonized, reducing the overall weight of the knife. This is a very lightweight carry package!
The blade features a high chisel grind and a dramatic swedge that greatly aids penetration. Only the inside (curved) edge is sharpened, however I can sharpen the other side also if requested.
The blade is obviously designed for hooking/pulling movements, but it is still well suited for stabbing or drawpoint methods!
This is a great carry blade; especially for Pikal/Edge In fans!

Thanks for looking!
