Fill in the cut outs in the handle and round the edges,then make the blade serration free and I'd be happy with it.

i like seration on at least part of the blade, i have a divers knife, a bit like this one http://www.armynavyshop.com/prods/rc3034.html

but the blade length is too long for it to be a regular out and about carry and mora's rope knife has too many serations along the whole length of the blade

I don't think you'll find any bushcrafters that like serrations, they hold no practical use for us and just get in the way. They obviously have their applications for mounaineering, rescue, diving etc. The Grylls knife has serrations that are just not good for any of those activities either, they were designed simply to be able to be sharpened if you find yourself in the wilderness with stuff that wouldn't work on a larger blade. Purely as an emergency and of no use to 99.999999999999% of outdoors people at all. But I know a couple of folks that swear by them.

serations do get in the way sometimes, i have my mora 2000 to fill that role

 

[catweasel]

these are the 2 knifes i want to merge together, the grind on the mora is too complex for me to attempt but i think you get the idea of what im after

Nope, not me at all.

But its obviously well built.

And i dont know why we knock him....he did get made Chief Scout after all

Rob made the knife for BG, and you've seen the way he treats his knives. It's a solid testament to the solidity of the construction. Rob even machines the bolts himself.

This is my favourite:

I really like that, totally purposeful.

I like the knife, it looks well made, and I love the sheath, I quite fancy a FK A1 in a sheath like that.
I don't like the serrations, but I don't really like serrations on any knife.

Even better

Even better

Almost...... almost, Bayleys have far more comfortable handles. The blisters I got from my F1 were heinous.
