What style of knife would you call this?

Decently wide belly, don't know if that back false edge is sharp but it could be, I like the gently sloping downward curve- there's a reason pro fencers adopt that posture. Big enough for rough work, small enough for sensible easy carry, nice fine point. Are you looking for a name for it? Here's one, no charge. "The Solution". Looks good with the satin finish but you should offer it in subdued black too, there's a market for that I'm sure.

That's actually a pretty cool name for a knife, particularly that type of knife. Makes me wonder if anyone is using it.

"What is THAT?"

"It's... The Solution!"

David Mary David Mary this one's got a wicked downward blade angle you posted about like it just wants to start cutting.

SimplyMinded SimplyMinded Missed your post... I like that too! The Campoon Solution!!

This is great knife.

What's the thickness?

I like yours better because in the very rare event of being dragged into court after using the knife for self defense, Campoon is gonna go a lot better for you than "The Solution".
DA : "So Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, the Defendent HAD the Solution all right, and he used it..." (DA-DA-DAAAAAA)

Whereas yours- DA, "Uh and as you can see, the defendent here used this knife, this BIG fighting knife called the..er..Campoon..to uh..well, I mean yeah he used it for camping but he used it as a weapon, and uh.."
 
Thank you all for the kind words!!
I left the spin thicker so it could be used to baton (which I have done along with things like chopping and other cutting tasks. Not with this knife but with this same model)
thickness is just a touch over 3/16”
 
I call outdoor knives in this size range “field knives”. To me, a field knife is something that should do almost all tasks “ok”.

Should work in food prep, fire making, light chopping/shelter making, fighting, hunting, and other utility tasks.

Should be almost as capable as a full-sized “survival knife” at heavy work, but not as heavy/thick so more suitable for daily camp tasks and carving.

I’d call it the Campoon Field Knife. :)
 
I like it a lot the handle angle gives it some of the advantages of a kukri but without the recurve in the blade. The sharpening choil is a bit large. Overall nicely done.
