I'm working on some designs for a small run of knives I'm going to do. I would greatly appreciate some feedback from users like yourselves. What's your preferences on blade length, overall length, choil or not, blade thickness, grind, steel? Thanks for your input.
 
Blade length: 3.5 inches or something in that area.

Overall length: The blade length+a handle long enough to apply most hand sizes.

Choil: Can become handy for some people, but I find knives with choiles easier to resharpen because the handle doesn't stay in the way.

Blade thickness: 4mm

Grind: Full flat grind or convex grind

Steel: AUS-8(a lot of steelsnobs will slam me for that suggestion, but I'm speaking from experience), 1095, N690 or a steel that is easy to resharpen without expensive equipment.
Handle material: Micarta or G-10. Rounded corners.

Other: The blade should have a slight, downward angle(if you place a ruler on the top of the knife handle, the blade itself should have a slight angle, like the SOG Bowie 2.0 or the ESEE-4) Makes it easier to do heavier cutting because of physics.
Lanyard hole and a slim profile sheath.


Just my opinions:)
