Got this one done recently. Did a stonewash finish on the blade which I think worked well for the design.

Specs:
Steel - CPM154CM
Blade Length - Approx. 4"
Overall Length - Approx. 8 3/4"
Guard - 416SS
Handle - Small Red G10 Spacer and Black G10 Handle
Pin - Mosaic

Thanks for looking.

The proportions look extremely out of whack....the blade is simply too short.

It's the extra 3/4 inches of grip that should be there anyway. Thanks for making a shorter blade with a hAndle tgat makes sense for a man.

I agree with this. I have pretty big hands and just because I might want something like a 3 inch blade doesn't mean I want a 3 inch handle.
 
I think some of the issue might be in the angle of the photograph. Putting the handle closest to the camera maybe exaggerated the length of it in the pic. In person it does not look disproportional, at least not to me.

I also think it could be the angle that the photo was shot. Also looks as if that's what the customer wanted. If Sean says it doesn't look disproportional I would take his word for it as I know he has a good eye for these things.:thumbup:

Nice looking knife.

You can tell it was actually crafted to be used and not just a safe queen.
