    This knife also featured in the designs and it was totally different to anything else but I thought it would work and could be useful and appeal to the right hunter.
    Turns out it was exactly what a member wanted and hit the go button.

    Here's the result, D2 steel, full tang and full grind. Black / blue micarta handles with sky blue and black G10 liners and running carbon pins.
    Blade is 85 - 90mm and feels very natural in the hand.
    Another bloody awesome forum member to deal with , more like making knives for mates than customers.

    I'd hoped to have tried this knife by now but haven't fired a shot in anger for several weeks despite being "out there" - the fishing lust took over!!

    This knife is truly "alive in the hand" and best of all last night managed to catch up with @viper and we had a great yarn. Its the best of the forum when one can chuck ideas round, do deals and get a neat result.

    I need to get a sheath made for it and bowl a big redskin over to try it!!
