It certainly is close. I guess it’s difficult to come up with a shape that hasn’t already been thought out.Looks like an ESSEE Izula
I was thinking more tip control but I understand what you are saying.Looks awesome. Even if you go with that pattern exactly.
For a lightweight backpacking knife. I would want the butt high enough to get as much of the blade as possible to sit flat the cutting surface.
Probably just me but if I'm going to have just one knife while camping. Being able to lay the edge flat for food prep, even just sliding some chopped ramps into my pan makes all the difference. Not many "all in one" blades do this.
I'm not even talking full grip. A pinch grip is fine, I just want the edge to touch the material across it's length.
Sketched this little guy up today as a possible candidate for a neck knife or back pack minimalist knife. Thoughts/ suggestions?View attachment 568247

Yes sir, as soon as it's heat treated and tempered it will be looking a new home. I've saved the pattern and plan on makiing more. There isn't going to be a refined finish, on these but it will be satisfactory for it's intended use. I haven't decided on making a sheath for these. I currently don't do kydex but I think this knife would be a good fit for that material.Nice! I really like that one! Is it going to be for sale?
I realize these are just starting points BUT to me all they need is for the top of the "handle" to be rounded some so there are no sharp points to gouge the palm of your hand.......You're gonna sell Alot of these!!!
Good observation. The 45degree cut on the butt eliminates that, plus all the edges will be softened in the finished product. And yes I hope so ;>}. Thanks Billy!!I realize these are just starting points BUT to me all they need is for the top of the "handle" to be rounded some so there are no sharp points to gouge the palm of your hand.......You're gonna sell Alot of these!!!
