This is my new bushy prototype (not s manufacturing prototype but personal use proto)
It incorporates things i dont like about woody type clones.
This i feel is nearly there, could have made it lighter without the thick butt plate (still lighter than a woodlore)
The tang is thick and scored for strength even though it only goes to thirds through the handle and the but plate is held on by screws that take up the final third (with the head ground until the screw slot dissapears)
Steel = cpm 3v
blade tickness = 3mm
blade length = 103mm
blade width = 20mm tapering to point
overall length = 215mm
handle = my elm that i had stabilized professionally
Grind lines could have been better:C
As a side note the cpm 3v despite not being stainless took a week in vinegar to patina:O

- I dont like the blades being too wide as it limits what you can do
- not too thick 3mm is more than plenty
- Partial tang for lightness but still sturdy
- Higher grind with secondary bevel for stronger edge (i carry a carving knife for carving)
