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.

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.

Here is a nice design with a flat grind, especially up forward where it does alot of work
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 was actually thinking of a thumb rise.
But I'm thinking of a drop point instead of a leading point.
I've never made a thumb rise drop point. Don't think I have ever seen one. I'm going to ponder that one.
