hey I like it a lot.
it's a small, simple neck knife.
the cut out on the sheath for "strap cutting" look handy
and the blade shape makes it really easy to sharpen...
unique design I think

Yes I do. Any kind of sheath can be done.

Thanks Dao.

I tried to design a simple small knife that would feel comfortable at any grip, and as you mentioned, easy to sharpen.

Great! Do you think about selling it?
hey have you ever tried on Kiridashi blade style?
should you grind the edge a bit higher or put some jimping on the spine?

Yes, I'd like to sell it.

I´ve been working with different variations of the same design, as a shorter yet comfortable version of it and a karambit as well.

This is how the first one looked like:

5mm thick, chisel ground.

Anything can be done as long as it makes sense.

Think I like the handle on this one a little better...
both of them are good lookin' knives...
BTW did you heat treated the, yourself?
have you ever put them to the test?

The handle is the same, only 2mm thicker and some paracord.
Yes, I do the heat treat myself.

I haven´t particularly tested the knives, but from the same batch (same steel bar, same heat treat) I tested a pry bar on the vice; couldn't break it
