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.....

The sketch...



154 CMP SS, Orange G10 Jigged.

6 3/8" from tip to scale and 11" overall.

Very nice piece of sharp steel there! I really like the cant lose it color of the handle. Looks functional and simply stout! Refined yet robust!

You could definitely survive with that one!

Thanks all, I like it so much. I went ahead and had Dale put me in the book for two more. A matching set with black G-10 instead of orange and a Tek-Lok system on both. I'm looking forward to getting them.

Smack,

Great looking knife. While I understand the reason for the orange handle, that was my only reservation, Your getting black scales makes it the perfect knife IMHO.
