This was made for me, to my specs. 10" oal, 3.75" blade. This knife was designed to fit inside the cumberbund of my kit on my support side, so it couldn't be too long. But it needed to be thick and the tip needed to be robust. Jeremy did a great job!
I wanted to be able to have a full grip on the blade without my finger inside the ring. This blade is thick A2 tool steel with a baked on finish. In the photos, I have some before and after shots of the blade splitting oak, and you'll see how well the finish holds up. For comparison, there's a shot of a Active Duty. The AD has a 3" cutting edge, and is 8" oal. There is a shot of the ring being used with a pistol, not ideal, but handy if you need both tools in hand. Here's the pixs:
