I wanted to come up with a compact knife that would be just at home in the kitchen as it would be camping/hiking. I thought about going with a full on modified chefs knife but it would be to big for me to lug around. Plus, they don't have the flare that I want. LOL Tell me what you think even if it's a harsh critique. I can take it.
Uses would be camp chores with heavy use like batoning in emergencies only. I usually carry a hawk so I would want this knife to be able to baton in emergencies if I were separated from the hawk. I'm not a fan of batoning as a hobby. Not that there's anything wrong with it.
Also, I want it to be good with a cutting board but I'm not sure if it'll do that well until I do a cardboard cut out. Not sure about finger clearance. The grid is 1/4 inch so that puts the blade at 5 3/4 inch and I was thinking 1/8 inch full convex. Sorry about the crappy photo. Bad lighting and a camera phone aren't the best tools of the trade I guess.
