I am an apprentice with Andy Roy (fiddleback forge) I decide to try something deferent . I would be thank full for your feed back. The blade is 1/8" cpm 154 and is 8 3/4" long by 1 1/8" inches at the rocosso and rises a 1/4" above the spine at the tip and has a convex saber grind. The handle is 4 3/4" long with black canvas micarta, white g-10 liner and white fiber glass pins.

thank you
 
it looks well made - clean & even grinds, nicely contoured scales, good fit and finish.
that said, I am not a fan of the bump at the end of the blade as a design element -- the transition is too "jarring" for me, so it's not a harpoon tip or bolo -- and does not look like it would work well for a pot lifter, either.
 
it is based on an old stile butchers knife, it is for a full time butcher/ deer processor that wanted classic lines with stainless steel
 
cool -- Like I said, it looks well made, just not a pattern I would choose.
If it meets the customer's need and he's happy, that's the important part.
 
I like it, and, while I agree with the bump is a bit "jarring", I would say that one of those where the back of the bump was sharp would work great for brambles. I am sot sure, but it sounds right.
