"Snubnose" Assist II

[Carlos]

My image manipulation was a bit crude, and I think I left the handle a bit long. But it is sort of a 2.5"/60mm Assist II.

The closed Assist II below it is unmodified.

I just want an original assist...nice job though!

I like that. Midway between a Ladybug II and a Rescue Jr. The handle might be small enough to turn into a three-fingered grip though, so it would need an indentation for the pinky. The key is that it would have the serrations on a straight edge, which is what I like. I generally avoid serrations on curved edges, since they don't work well for my jobs.

Is the dimension (width) of the scales different compared to the regular Assist? I haven't had anyone who has played with the Assist II say that they wanted it to be shorter...

If the scales didn't share the Assist II's "rounded" profile, it might be a neat pocket carry.

In terms of the image, I did to the Assist II what they did to Military to make the Paramilitary: just chopped a bit off of both ends. It isn't really scaled down. Shorter, but still full-size.

In theory, if it were a real knife, I'd probably want to slim it down a bit - maybe to the same thickness as the Native III handle.

"maybe to the same thickness as the Native III handle."

Yeah, buddy. Now you're talking...

Nice work, Carlos. I'd buy one, just put back the whistle and loose the Boye dent
