Nuk Ridgeback XL

[penvisser]

for an upcoming expedition , later this year, I made this knife for myself.











1.2510, 5 mm, blade 130 mm, 20 mm choil, handle 120 mm, camo G10.


Kydex sheath is next, Multicam, I think

That is very very nice indeed, well done.

Very nice, what are your thoughts behind the shape of the blade ?, I'm not being critical far from it, I'm just interested, in why the spine of the knife is that shape.

Regards,

Rob

My guess would be either for an index or thumb finger rest (when skinning) or for use with a firesteel.

In combination with the choil for my index finger , I can place my thumb on the ridge; it gives great control of the bigger blade.
