Thought you guys might like to see this one.

This is my spin-off of the Dave Beck WSK made popular by the movie The Hunted.
I really liked the idea of the knife, and hope to add a few of my own humble "upgrades".

Notably:
  • creating more of a "chopping" profile
  • short sawback, moved away from the tip (to allow for better skinning/draw-knife cutting)
  • "raised" false edge - to clear sawback
  • "bell" at the end of the contoured handle for comfort and control
  • front and rear lanyard tubes
  • finger hole in the blade for safety/control while draw-knife cutting
  • finger ring instead of drop-guard for security/control
But most importantly, the blade has a distal taper and the tang has been drilled to created a well balanced knife and not just another sharpened prybar.
