I put this Burt Foster "Dark Side" on my belt today.
It's a handy, nice looking little knife. Measures in at a whopping 6" OAL. :D

The grip is good. I wouldn't want to cut with it all day long though, but it sure is a handy little knife. The Damascus is much nicer in person too.
 
TGIF, putting my Boker LEO IV Loveless style drop point on my hip, 600 layer damascus blade and inlay, rosewood burl handles, 925 sterling silver guard and pins, custom sheath by Madison Saddlery and a Doc Hagen LC in sambar stag and CPM 154. My credit card just got charged for my Case/Bose STAG Lanny's Clip, very excited about that.

Mr. Foster sure asked a lot of different things from that one little piece of steel, now didn't he?

That's an intriguing design, one that invites handling and use in a different way than smoother pieces beckon one to hold them.

Meaning, I look at that knife and and am immediately curious about what it feels like in hand, whereas with more traditionally contoured/finished pieces I anticipate how good they'll feel-- and want to hold them.

The outcome is the same ("Can I hold that?" Shut up, Elliot), but from very different impulses. Thanks for posting this one.

I really like that damascus, that random pattern is very appealing. It looks somehow much more 'natural' than the regular patterns, which sometimes feel a bit 'sterile' (I lack a better english word). This one looks much more unique and I guess would feel a bit special (to me at least).
 
Thanks, there are 4 steels forged in that piece, leopard pattern, by the German knifemaker Teyke.

There's an elegance in the simplicity of this design, ~ P. The handle is textured and there are no hot spots or sharp edges on it. It's a nice 3 fingered grip, and the thumb rest makes it very natural and comfortable to hold.

Burt Foster is one of the best, in a lot of folks opinions.

Now about Elliott ..... ;)
 
Today - during day and work, I gonna carry my GEC F&F Tool (thanks ~P. :) )
