Today I have a concept knife David Mary and I worked out while designing the Sitrep. This is a faster and more agile knife than the Sitrep. It comes with a kydex sheath

Roughly 5/32" AEB-L Steel hardened to around 61.
4.5" handle made with Grey/black G10 scales.
About a 6.5" long blade (just realized the picture with the ruler is cut short, I'll get a better one this evening)

This is SOLD

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm kinda new to nice knives... But would you consider this a good knife for bushcrafting? Seems like it given the size and shape of the blade.

Not dumb at all. No, I would not consider this an ideal knife for bushcraft based on what many people are looking for in a bushcraft knife. If we're strictly looking at what's most common, most people are looking for a fairly thick handle with a neutral handle shape without sharp corners or transitions and a simple blade shape that usually favors robustness over thin and slicey. Blades are typically 4-5" and handles are the same. There's a lot of room for personal preference here and I can give better ideas of what you could look for based on your intended tasks and preferences, go ahead and email me at goodknifeco@gmail.com. I'm not going to try and sell you anything, we can just have a conversation about what I think makes a good bushcraft knife for you and your tastes. Or, feel free to start a thread on my sub-forum.

This knife doesn't have a handle that I would consider great for bushcraft and the blade is on the long side. The blade would be a bit light for a camp knife, which many would consider a big bushcraft knife. There's a lot of latitude in the naming conventions of knives because people have such different tastes in what they want in a knife for a given task. For bushcraft and camping, I tend to favor the 5-6" blade length and saber grinds but still like the simple, straighter handle shapes.
 
I was an inch away from buying this the whole time. Excellent steel, shape, length… perfect execution.
