Alright guys, here is one I have been working on between orders. I made one for my 8 year old for Christmas and profiled out two more to sell. It would make a really nice EDC blade but I hope it goes to a youngster as his first knife. Still have to clean up, antique and handle but it will be done soon. Im going to let my kid pick out the handle materials unless somebody wants to buy it and pick their own. And.....they are my first full convex grinds! I will probably put a secondary convex on but Ill bring it way up the blade. Its ground to zero now.
These measurements are eyeballing because I don't have a tape nearby
2 3/4" blade, 3 3/4" handle full convex grind
If it goes to a son or grandson it will be $75.00 with pocket sheath. If it goes to an adult it will be $90.00

Wow I love it. I'm a son and a grandson :D does that count lol. Anyway I think I want one. your son can pick the handle, can it be of the wide wood variety? Since I've been thinking of getting one of your wide edc's. Pm incoming
 
I liked that price distinction, Chris :) also, nice classic KFU design
I always thought your knives were convex edges, my bad...
 
Thanks Sveqs, all my knives have been flat ground with a convex edge. This one was convexed fully to a zero edge although I will probably put a secondary convex on it. In other words Ive always used the flat platen on the grinder to make a flat grind all the way up and than just sharpened on a belt which made a convex edge. I used the slack part of the grinder on this one.

And the plunge is dead nuts center!
