Neil- very nice, I would buy one of yours, but I am still too poor.
MIKLE- Good Point, though for city carry, dangler sheaths are too conspicous for me. And when I speak of guard shapes, I really am more thinking a small integral or 'speed-bump'. Full guards often get in the way, as I think you were pointing out.
thebladrunr- He sent me an image, nice, but not quite what I am thinking.
David1967- That RJ Martin Handiman always catches my eye. In fact, most of RJ's smaller stuff catches my eye.
Griffon- The Dropped Hunter is nice, though a bit blunt, I like more of a Finn Drop, like the blade on this Allen Blade piece.
That narrowing in the rear, as you mention, is a very good feature.
sgtmike88- I could not find an image of the Ranger.
MarkCid84- If I am in the market I will let you know, how much are they new?
Cliff- Despite the utility, I think hawkbills are too radical for me, but that Phil Wilson piece is too great for words. Though, currently I am working on a pocketable piece.
John Schedel- I like the Kellan Ilari. Kelllam also makes a great 'cheap' knife, the UtilityKnife. I like mine a great deal. Unfortunately the sheath is merely passable, and Kydex will cost me twice what the knife did....
Will- And a damn fine knife that is, and a steel one might be just the ticket for me.
Alberta Ed- The F1 is nice, though I am no fan of the convex edge, my sharpening is subpar. From the looks of it, and the word on the Forums, Normark makes a fine Concealex sheath, we may be doing business soon. The Marble's Fieldcraft is a knife that I have been looking closely at lately. I had one of those Colorado Cutlery drop points, but I found the handle too small, and way too slick. The Frosts are nice, of Sweden that is. And, Ed Caffrey, well, that goes without saying.
Thanks all for your thoughts and ideas, and thanks in advance for anymore.
MDP
