Middle one, but add a guard on that thing, for the sake of your fingers...

It’s a simple drop point blade. There’s been many made with no guard since the primary use is basic cutting tasks. If you cut yourself because there’s no guard, you’re using it wrong.

Middle. I usually go for general purpose blades. Would like to see what they look like when closed.

Yeah, even a small guard or bump makes all the difference. If your mittens are wet, there’s a non-zero chance of slipping towards the edge.

The middle one. I wouldnt use any of them though since the pointy back ends of them might pop my "spare tire" when in the sheath lol.

Thanks for all the responses fellas. The sheath is going to be able to be worn horizontal and vertical and with a can't. The belt loop layout looks fantastic to me anyway. Proof is in the pudding

I like the top one. You may have to adjust your cutting technique a bit, as the tip will likely be a bit more delicate. It looks like a weaponized A.G. Russell Woodswalker! The drop point is classic, but everyone has one. Or more. Other than that, it's just a sharp piece of steel. As long as it cuts the stuff you need cut, my opinion matters not.

Middle and I’d knock down those corners on the butt.

I choose the middle one. It looks like the most versatile design.

It takes a lot to make me laugh out loud, but that did it.

As a few others mentioned, I noticed those sharp corners on near/ on the end of the handle.
They look like they'd be really uncomfortable, especially if you used the knife for very long.

That's a neat way to accommodate different carry options.

Middle,
Nice designs on those, btw will it have a hollow grind? looks like a strong bushcrafter,,, nice

So I have custom blade being made and everything is now in the initial stage of the build. I have the pattern I want, the steel, handles, hardware etc & sheath. I'm just curious which pattern you would choose. Thanks. I've already chosen and will post pics when I receive it. View attachment 1466854 View attachment 1466856 View attachment 1466857

Gonna have to wait for the pics brother!!! I'm excited, first full custom and I love my makers work so. His grinds are always immaculate. Enjoy your weekend....

Middle.

The top looks like it’s been sharpened badly for years and the belly is worn away

The bottom has no belly and looks like a wonky grind?

What steel is your maker using? Not that it's terribly important, good heat treat for the steel used, and the intended purpose, makes all the difference.

Just curious.
