Came across a short bit of O1 in the cave. Decided I should doodle a design out.


Then I kept on going (plus the midgets had a go too)





Too many options now, though I have got a favourite for now.
 
between everywhere, each design has had someone like it - it's interesting to see the breadth of appeal.

It it seems number three is getting the most love, which I'm a little surprised at.
 
No 9 for me. the handle shape swung it.
I'm guessing Janne, like me, would like to see a carving blade in there.:)
 
I find this size knife very useful and capable but then not everyone is made equal with different strengths and capabilities.

This is will be this style knife not a stick tang.

OK!

Design 3 is very nice. So is design no 9. I think the handle design should sit nicely in the palm.
 
I'd carry #3. #4 would be a very versatile blade in my kitchen.
Slightly convex profile to the edge like many veg cleavers without the weight.
 
Keep 1,3,4 and 9.

2 and 5 work for me in shape, but they're skinners. Not that I've ever bought a knife on looks alone. :lmao:

And chuck a bit of wood on those Bones blades ya lazy git. They aren't to fret over though, I'm not exactly losing sleep about them myself. :)
