I love the profile on that pairing knife. Not crazy but different and interesting. Nice job on both. It shows that you can make functional knives that still look different than what everyone else is putting out and look classy.
Its a bummer when you build a knife the way you like it and it really performed and people want you to dial it back.Thank you S Storm W . I originally thought it up as a paring but have been using it and been giving it to friends and family more as a knife to process game and for bushcraft chores. It’s worked excellent there but I need to add a choil. Bringing a zero edge back to such a small ramp to keep your finger away from the sharp edge has proven troublesome for a couple people.
Don't add a choil. Just give it a 2 mm heel/ricasso before the edge starts.Thank you S Storm W .
