Man that is nice, you do very good work sir. I would buy it but I want one kind of like that but with a bit of a curve to it.
 
I like this one a lot, in particular:

Handle shape is very ergonomic and lends itself to a number of grip positions

Integral guard because of the blade and handle shape

Blade shape is awesome, but if I were ordering one from you, it would need more of a point.

Excellent work and price point!
 
It's a little more compact at 7" and it looks as though the balance would be enhanced. A nice knife Gerry.
 
Gerry, I don't know what it is about your knives, but they beg for a "nickname". We call your $65 specials "Gerry's Little Jewels". This one may go down as the "G. L. Drew Green River Humpbacked Drop Point"! Very nice as always!

Try saying that very fast three times.

My biggest critic (wife) says I overprices this one. I hate when she is right but let's drop the price on this to $100 and see what happens.

I just finished these for a show but will sell you one (or all) for $100 each and try not to feel cheated!

That's a tempting offer!

Will you name the wood on each of those pictured above, please? You have quite a nice variety there that is looking good!

Ipe (Brazilian walnut)
Jatoba (Brazilian cherry)

Cocobolo
Lignum Vita (Ironwood)
 
GL,

This is my favorite rendition of this knife so far. :D

I like the length, the offset blade (for knuckle clearance), and the subtle crow's beak and sculpting on the handle.

Outstanding work! :thumbup:
 
These are truly artful renditions of this design. I dub these the Deal Of The Week. :thumbup: I am displaying incredible willpower - for me - by sticking to my large knife/short sword focus. Argh, this hurts.
 
Here is a better shot of the maple handle knife as requested. Flats are mill finish with a scotchbrite finish on the grind.

The maple and lignum Vita are sold.
