That looks like the signature version.
It's nice to have, but more than most people need.

Looks like a Chicom turd to me...

The cut for the index finger is tight and forward, moving the hand close to the edge. The guard is useful, well shaped and drops a good distance. The plunge and the choil are not aligned. It's good, elegant, well thought out design and engineering.

It needs a small thumb ramp with mild jimping though...

Slight drop point with the belly towards the tip. It would work as a large skinning knife, a tradesman's knife, and would be very useful in Bushcraft as well.

Looks like an outstanding general purpose design that would serve a person well

You might call it a "field knife"

The contouring of the handle looks a little simplified

When I look at it, the first thing I don't think of is your work.

It’s nice to deal with true professionals

We call that "stream of semi-consciousness" here

 

[Blues]

Wouldn't it be a "creek" of consciousness...or is that only relevant in Tanto's case?
