I think the original was Osage, light blue liners , front red mosiac and hollow brass rear pin

The original is tan micarta, but there are probably more Osage and brass ones than any other type.

That’s going to be quite a looker! Great choice!

You would know, it’s your design, and one of my best sellers!

Well my self proclaimed jk historian title is self proclaimed lol. But you did design a sweet knife. I have the stretched model but still need a regular

So would the grip be a 3 finger grip on the bluegill?

Yes, but I have made them with a longer handle, doing one right now with a 4” handle and 3” blade.

I got the stretched bluegill with black micarta handles, red liners and red mosiac pins

Would it be a little more with the the 4 inch handle And three inch blade?

Only a few dollars

I want some opinions, I like the 4 inch handle, but what about a 2.5 inch blade or just under 3 inches? Any advantages to keeping it under 3 inches? More control? I am so close to pulling the trigger in the Blue Gill.

Look at the pictures of the Deluxe Hurley Creek jds1 just posted, it has a 4” handle and 2 3/4” blade.

How are you going to carry it? Pocket or hip? For me, the expected use really dictates what size the knife will be. When not at work, I have really been enjoying carrying a hunter (7 inches overall). It's just right on the hip, but a little large in the pocket. Doable, but not as comfortable as a small folder. I ordered a blue gill to do more small stuff to see if it can replace my folding knife. I'll find out later this year if that is possible....

All that said, I am learning that the pocket sheath plays a big part in the comfort of a fixed blade in the pocket. I hear Simplejack can make a perfect pocket slip! Having the sheath fill out the pocket to keep the knife where you want it seems like the key.
