IMO (which I know ain't worth jack), if the point was a bit higher, like halfway between the original design and the Zulu, it would be perfect.

I have to agree with @jlauffer on this idea. A spear point Pocket Blade would be ideal for me too.

Bring it on John! I even have some scales set aside in case I make it back on the Dibs list.

Zulu spear is looking good John , I like the mid point look between a spear and wharncliffe with a lower tip or if you want to say it another way less belly. Some advertise a Zulu spear knife and they look like daggers, I think you nailed it. I guess you either like the look or don't, I have enough spears and drop points so I'm looking forward to your Zulu, plus I heard they are good users.

We'll get a Spear point and hopefully a lambsfoot or sheepsfoot into the mix as well. These are the first Zulus I've made and I'm realllly liking them so far.

Collect the whole set!

Ha one day I'll have to make a box set.

Lambs/Sheepsfoot sound interesting.

Zulu blade with the Mexican blanket handle scales would be so cool.

That's looks great, can we get a side view to see the profile?

This one is zoomed in from further away so it should give a better idea of the proportions without any fish eye distortion.

I'm glad to hear that, this black Linen is pretty nice, first time I've used it.

Yeah I think it looks great. I’m shocked no one else wanted black linen micarta yet.

I'll get some better pics tomorrow gents. Here's a quick tease of the rag, talk about a cool material.

Black linen is a classic handle material. It looks very handsome on a Pocket Blade. The Zulu blade looks great too.

One of the little details I appreciate about your finish work John is how you put a nice chamfer on the cross tubes. It looks and feels good. A lot of makers skip that step for some reason.

Both knives look great, really like that black linen and that rag looks like burl wood

 

[Mack]

Those handles look ridiculously comfy. Dang.

 

[Redmeadow Knives]

Another option for pocket clips. I tried to get a couple of pictures that show the difference.
