Dale smoked one out for me here! I had a profile in my head of what I wanted for a survival/ camp knife but staying out of the chopper class. Keeping it on the lighter side but not too small. I sent the sketch bellow to Dale, mentioned the words "Swedge" and "Kydex" and Dale ran with it.

I couldn't wait to get to the post box today, due to the fact this knife was a complete original between Dale and I. As soon as I slid the knife from the Kydex, I knew it was a home run! It is even more than what I expected and a great piece. The feel is excellent, the weight is perfect, the Swedge is out of this world. A great fit on the Kydex, it retains the knife well and I can skin the knife from the sheath quickly and smoothly.

Thanks Dale.....

Good looking knife, but I'd want a little more vertical at the choil for my hand.

Let us know how it performs.
 
Niiice!!

Bigger Hammer--Nice knife; nice design. About what I'd have designed myself, for that matter. It appears to fit your hand quite well.

Dale A. Howe--Nice execution!
