What Is This Knife Good For?

[redsquid2]

I came up with a design for a paring knife with about 4" of blade length. Then I started thinking it would be good for outdoors - maybe small game? I bumped up the thickness to .110" and here is what I came up with

Now I'm not so sure. What would you use it for?

Thank you for your thoughts,

That's nice. I like a 4" fixed blade. I think they're useful for a lot of things.

Thats whats known as a bird and trout knife.

4 inch blade ground to cut and a generous handle to lend control.. looks like a great general purpose knife to me.

Handle is gorgeous!

Assuming the steel/HT is fairly tough , this kind of knife can be useful for a broad range of outdoor tasks .

Is it stainless ? What is the handle made from ?

Nice shape/size for many things. As Arathol stated- B&T comes to mind right away. Hunting, hiking, edc…

Very nicely done.

If I were a maker, I'd catalog it as a general purpose outdoor utility knife. It's a nice design that can be pressed into a lot of roles.

Looks like a perfect all-arounder. I would say it would be a great outdoors knife, useful for Hunting, Fishing, Camping, etc.

You really don't need a huge knife for those tasks, and that one looks like it is big enough to do whatever you need, but not so big as to be hard to carry and/or use.

Awesome blade!

Nice looking knife, as others have said, good knife for many tasks.

Not throwing. Maybe.

Pertnear everything else, though.

 

[Horsewright]

Nice knife. Very similar blade style to my most popular model the Cowboy. bout an inch longer though.

Such cutting humor. Pun intended.

Thank you!

The steel is AEB-L and I sent it to Bos for heat treatment and 61 hardness.

The handle is two layers of micarta
