Santos Knives The Mercenary

[BrunoS]

Hi guys I am a young knife designer from México and I was thinking if you could give me your opinion of one of my designs, the mercenary, I want to create a kickstarter campaign to produce it but first I would like to know what do you think about it.

It is designed to be a combat/tactical knife it has a penetrating tip to pierce thick fabrics and soft armor, has a recurve edge to enhance its cutting capabilities on tough materials found on the battlefield as tires and thick nylon and it is fulltang to provide superior strength, in case of need it can become a survival knife so that its carrier can get back to safety, it can do batoning and everything necessary in a survival situation easily.
it has a slight belly in the handle to help the user identify where the edge is located in low light conditions and the guard is tilted forward to allow a saber grip for combat. The skull crusher at the end of the handle is to break windows or smash things and to have a non lethal option.

I was thinking of offering two possible options, the standard handforged in 5160 and the premium handmade in cpm154 which one do you think would be better?

1. Your pictures aren't working.

2. I think you'd need at least a gold level membership to post a kickstarter for your knives; not allowed to sell below that level.

For what its worth, 154cm isn't really a premium steel any more. Its more entry-level steel from most makers these days. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but if you like working with it, I'd just list that as the stainless option instead.
