I can't do a review on this one as it is the first prototype and I am not going to use it but send it to my father....however I did want to post some pics.
Just so you'll know, this knife was designed around bushcraft but in a rougher environment than in our local woods. And yes...coming from a family of veterans...it was designed to function in a combat environment if needs be. It is also designed to work well with gloved hands so it may not be comfortable to some bare hands in all grips.
I have been waiting for this for nearly seven months now. While this is what the actual finished product looks like....
I just got the original prototype in the mail. This prototype was done with a black blade, I think just to see what it would look like. I'm not sure but being a prototype there is a good chance it hasn't been heat treated so I didn't do anything with it but take pictures. But so far, even with the finger grooves it's pretty comfortable in a variety of grips.
and of course I had to throw in this picture.
