Thank you, Tim!

From the 'Where are Custom Knives heading in 2016-2017" thread:

I'd like to see the return of the smaller fixed blade, in many configurations.

Agreed...

EDCs 7.5" OAL and below- we have seen the popularity of these increase and I feel this is only the start.

I definitely agree with the smaller fixed blades being a place that I'd like to see an emphasis on.

My opinion comes from a non-knifemaker, non collector point of view.
People I talk to are fond of the traditional fighters leaning toward the shorter (6" or under) blades.

I'd say Tim is paying attention to the market! :thumbup:

You totally nailed this design. I like everything about it, especially the handle.
