Alright. Let's see if I can knock some of these questions out.
Sheath pics or GTFO.
I actually didn't make a sheath for this one. I thought about how i would do a sheath for it for a while and decided that it would be better in leather. The problem with kydex is that it's not for everything. This thing would be much better in a leather sheath with a snap strap over it.
Wow, only just spotted this post !
I bet it's one hell of a slicer eh !!!!
The drawing looked cool but the actual knife looks amazing, I'm sure you are going to do great as a knife maker buddy !!!!!
Thanks broski! It does indeed slice like a mother.
Great work.
What grind is on the knife? (hard to tell from photos)
It has a convex saber grind. The grind I put on this is the same as the grind I would put on a regular sized bushcrafty belt knife, so it's still cuts and slices like a laser, but with all that meat behind it, it can also chop like nobody's bidness.
Dylan that is a great lookig design. I really like it.
Now what are the specs?
The blade is 5 1/2 long,2 1/2 wide and 10 1/2 overall length.This one does not have any liners and the handle is about 1 inch at the widest point.
Great work! I really like the up sweep on the spine that you use.
Besides more mass and pleasing lines, have you noticed any benefits to this?
Those lines are going to be common on a lot of my designs. While I do like a thumb ramp on a spine, I find most of them in the wrong place or overdone on most knives. I'm trying to make my thumb ramps as user friendly as possible so you can actually take advantage of them while, at the same time, not making it an obvious "feature" that sticks out on the knife and takes away from the lines. I wanted it to blend in.
I love it, that's a knife I would buy. you making any for sale?
Absolutely. I'm going to be starting a batch of them very soon. If anyone is interested in one of these and wants to know the price or wants to make sure they're on the list, shoot me an email. No deposit required. Just say, "hey, when you make more, make one for me too."

Sheath pics? Whats the pricepoint on these?
These are $200 plus shipping for right now.
I was just telling someone earlier today, I'm actually really surprised at how popular this knife has gotten. This thing started out as an idea for a camp knife that would also make a good spatula. lol. In reality, I ACCIDENTALLY made a really great camp knife that's an awesome blend between a chopper and a slicer. The size of the knife makes it great for pack or belt so it's not too much to carry however you want. I'm really happy that it has been so well received. I'm definitely making more of them. Thanks a ton for all the compliments guys. I really appreciate it.
