    Clinch Pick with sharp edge down?

    I really like the CP. I understand the doctrine behind putting the sharp edge up.

    However, I have long fingers and I expect if I ever had to use it in extremis, I’d slice the end of my thumb to the bone. I’ve also got a lifetime of using conventional blades.

    Does anyone make a similar size and form-factor knife with a conventional blade sharp side down?

    Thanks.
    Semper Paratus,

    One suggestion: your thumb should be wrapped around your fingers, not extended along the blade. I understand that extending the thumb is popular, but it demonstrably weakens one's grip on a knife or anything else.

    Thanks for the replies. I’m working on keeping the thumb down. And, thanks for the link.
