A couple of months ago John of http://jkhandmadeknives.com/ had a special going on for customer designed knives and I decided to try and design one. My brother had done some landscaping for me and would not charge me any labor so I thought it would make a great gift.
I drew the knife out on graph paper and then made a card board cut out to send John. Below are the results and I must say I'm very pleased with it. John did an outstanding job on the knife as usual and I really like my design as well. My brother does a lot of deer hunting so I went with a drop point style blade but I also wanted something that would work well for general type use. I believe this knife is going to work great and it feels great in hand.
The sheath is a belt style made from natural horsehide. My brother has been known to loose a thing or two so although the knife fits pretty snug, I decided to add a snap and flap for better security. A pull the dot snap loop was used for belt attachment.
Specs:
8" OAL
Steel O1
4.25" Handle
3.75" Blade
5/32" Thick
Curly Maple scales
Brass pins and lanyard hole
Thumb serrations
