Short, stocky drop-point meant for daily use. This knife was a commission, something I rarely do.
Using the same handle from previous knives coupled with a short, moderate belly for use in unforgiving environments. The handle is made of black G10 with toxic green liners and nickel-silver hardware.
Looking back, I would have instead opted for a full-flat grind. Given the thickness of the steel used, it would have worked out just fine and added some keenness to the upper third of the cutting edge.
I liked the result so much, I went on to make another version using AEB-L stainless with a full flat grind.
