Just finished this one today, and I realy don't know what to call it, a paring knife or a utility knife, or a small light camp knife. The blade is 3-1/2" long and 3/32 thick 1095, flat ground to .015" at the edge. The handle is Dogwood, stabilized and dyed (red) by Woodlab. and has brass pins. So what would you guys think it would be best used for?

I'd call a nice-looking little knife!
I am very interested in your dogwood handles
I have a piece of Dogwood crotch drying in my garage.
I talked to Mike at WSSI about dogwood.
He had never stabilized any.
Why did you dye it red? Too plain otherwise?
Could you post a close-up of the handle?
Congrats and Thanks

Thanks for all the input, and nice comments. I think it is a utility knife, use it for what ever needs cut.
Tommegow, I will try to get a close up and post it later today, I had it dyed for no special reason, other than to bring out the grain better, and I thought red was appropriate for Dogwood. I wouldn't say it would be to plain if done in clear, I am going to send Michael at Woodlab some more to be done without dye, and some for other colors as well.

I'd say she should be called an EDC/Hunter, suitable for many tasks. Nice clean looking user J. D. .:thumbup:
 
Here is a close up shot of the Dogwood handle on another new knife just finished.
