I have been looking at this knife closer and have a couple thoughts.
The wharncliffe blade seems better for household chores and food prep than self defense, but I am not a knife fighter so maybe I don’t understand, but I think of a dagger or clip blade (like a Bowie) for a self defense knife.
I wonder if the handle should have been carbon fiber to reduce weight? Maybe it would have poor balance with a light handle.
And aesthetically, it seems like the plunge line should have the same arc or angle as the front of the handle when the blade is open. Not necessarily in line with the handle, just the same angle/shape?
