Re: Help me come up with a design.
the Kershaw is on the right.
Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.
Re: Help me come up with a design.
I always wanted one of these and regret not putting one on lay away, back when I could have, before they stopped making them. Usefullness? It's what I would have wanted in Viet Nam. I don't think I would ever have another blade with a sharpened top edge. Just too dangerous for "me", the user. I had a 6" Kershaw like that once.

Oh my goodness Graps, those scales are truly amazing!
I agree with Grizzly about bolsters that go down flush into the blade. I don't like em!

Re: Help me come up with a design.
imagine those scales all oiled and polished. I regret never buying a Hummingbird recurve or longbow in his fancy maple years ago. They were good looking bows that fit my hand perfectly.

Re: Help me come up with a design.
Shadowhntr's blade in 5" would be about perfect - for me anyway. Does it have serrations, top and bottom?
What would be your preferred steel to work with? Got me curious now. Hard and long lasting edge holding or softer and easier touch up - or a compromise of both?

Re: Help me come up with a design.
I usually make the Ricaso at least 1/2" wide.
I knew a knife maker years ago that would leave the Ricssso 1" or more because he felt you should be able to have your index finger ahead of the guard for more control.
I'm not sure I agree with that. But there's no reason to have the cutting edge go all the way to the guard.

Re: Help me come up with a design.
Craig, my steel of choice is D-2. It is a high carbon high chrome steel. It is not easy to sharpen but it holds an edge very well.
It will rust, so you need to wipe it dry every time you use it and clean it off.

This is the scales that the chef knife is going to be made from.

Re: Help me come up with a design.

Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.
Re: Help me come up with a design.
Here is a nice design with a flat grind, especially up forward where it does alot of work
