    I like the overall design and especially use of 01 tool steel.
    A few suggestions:
    Full flat grind of blade, no recurve, I like the profile
    More of a choil or guard to prevent the hand from slipping onto the edge as was mentioned
    I looked at you photos and like the stippled/contoured micarta or G10 grips (can't tell what the actual material is in photo)
    I have never been a fan of wrapped handles
    Can you post more photos of the sheaths? Are they static cord only or are you incorporating a clip/belt loop?

    Good luck with the design!

    Thanks for the kind words and suggestions DI1
    Regarding your "full flat grind, no recurve" comment, why no recurve?
    Increasing the surface area forward of the index finger to stop riding forward can create a "stripping" point if there's too much in that area. Is this a concern to you?
    The textured handles are stippled black canvas micarta and factory textured black G-10. They do fill the hand nicely but are bulkier than the cord wrap.
    It seems that people either love or hate cord wraps
    I will post some pics of the sheaths. There are several versions. Static line, velcro for plate carrier and I'm working on 2 different belt clip variants.
