Here's a small general purpose blade I'm putting out there to see how I like it. I've made another that I'll be carrying and this one. I was going for a knife slim, light and compact enough to be an office friendly daily carry but still be a substantial blade capable of field dressing a deer or doing some more serious tasks.
Specs:
Ground out of 1084 steel, differentially hardened lightly etched
6 3/4" overall, 3 1/8" tip to scales, 2 7/8" of cutting edge, .115" thick at the ricasso with full distal taper ending in a nice pointy tip
600 grit hand sanded finish
Filed two-tone thumb grip
Heavily rounded spine for comfort
Bocote scales, thin and nicely contoured
6 german silver pins
Any thoughts, comments, discussion always welcome.
