Pokey, slicy, stabby things. (But NOT pry-y things!) ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is correct Mr. Kent, a knife is the worst,most expensive pry bar you can buy. BTW are you still interested in pursuing the flint knapped looking knife? What do you think of the blade shapes? We're going for a general purpose bushcrafting knife with an option for long or short blades. The double edged one is primarily just for poking and slicing people who initiate force. Wink wink
DeleteI stopped handing my knives to other people when a new knife had its tip broken off by the guy who said he needed to "see" my knife a second. I put up with a poor, reshaped tip for 20 something years before sending it in to Buck for a new blade.
DeleteYeah, I would still be interested in the flint-knapped look blade.
Those all look like good shapes. I lean toward the longer ones. My EDC knife has a stubby blade, which works fine for most things, it just looks short and fat to me. It's a Kershaw my dad gave me when I was about 12.
My personal preference has always been to not have the finger guard built on to the blade- just an aesthetic thing for me. If I want a finger guard, I would rather it be separate. Some of my favorite knives don't even have a finger guard at all, but I like those that do to have a brass one.
We'll have more designs coming out soon, I think our next planned one is a small practical skinner, then another fighting/bushcraft knife.
