Knife design

[BTGuard]

I am hoping to get a custom knife made eventually and am playing round with different blade and handle designs. What do people think of this one?

Pretty nice I have always liked the finger hole

Would fatigue set in quickly if you used it for any period of time? I also need to decide the size I want to go with.

I made quite a few in the past, the ringers some like alot from what I been told from past orders. it all depends on the individual.can be made in all kinads of shapes and sizes that feel right in hand.<><

Hey Thanks Chris, I was just showing some examples of variations of a few of the ringers I did in past just wanted to show BTGuard of possibilities they are nice to use also<><

That second ringer is a beauty Frank.

To the OP, that design looks sweet, but I would round the blade a bit more and shorten the handle some.

Would you guys recommend more of a drop point style or an upswept type blade for a regular use knife? I can't decide for sure if I want more rounded or pointed tip. I will draw a modified version up in the morning and see what it comes out as. Thanks for the input!

Thanks bro, that 2nd osage one was one Jaspro bought and now belongs to his daddy....

in upswept or drop point design it really depends on preference and what feels best in hand and maneuverability in a longer length blade for the ringers I think the upswept style does a great job and adding filework around the outer ring helps give it more control. but that is just me from past use on them on deer<><

New design. Changed the blade just a hair and shortened the handle.

Sticshooter - those are some nice looking knives. What diameter finger hole do you use for your ringers?

[viper3853]

a blade on paper...... so would rock still beat blade/paper or paper/blade beat rock?!?!?!

[BTGuard]

O god no blade beats everything

[viper3853]

i thought it was "Tank beats everything!!"
