Or a tactical trailing point, or maybe a persian fighter? This is probably the last one I will have time to finish in time for the OKCA show next week.
It is a lot different than the majority of my "tactical" knives, but I think it has really cool lines. What do you think?
Oal is about 9 5/8", with a 5" blade of .214" 5160.

				I'm usually not a trailing point fan.......I am now!  :-)
			
			
			
				i like it . looks it could be use in a situations. good job
			
			
			
				I like the blade design
			
			
			
				Call it what you want, I think it's a good, functional, design that you have masterfully crafted.
			
			
			
				I like all of your work, Ben.  Very cool work on that micarta.  When I saw the first pic, I was wondering what type of horn it was....  until I scrolled down to the close-up.   :D 
Nice job, as usual.   :thumbsup:

				well tactical i say not!  i would say a bush craft skinner i like more curved blades for bush craft and that knife looks very simple, tough, full tang and lanyard hole.  great job though. id carry that sucker in a heart beat. and of course my favorite color being black is even more of a plus.
			
			
			
				Pretty Clever !I think I like it !!!.
			
			
			
				Thanks guys, this one definitely won't slip out of your hands when using it!
			
			
			
				Well I like that one,
			
			
			
				Yep, that's some serious texturing, maybe call it the "gator hide" look, should a very nice user Ben.    :thumbsup:
			
			
			
				very nice.
			
			
			
				That is nice!
			
			
			
				I can't decide which I like better the knife or the sheath!  This would be one I would love to own!

Thanks Doug, "Gator hide", I might have to use that!! It is actually very comfortable to hold and it gives excellent grip even with gloves on.
			
 
			
			
				That is a good looking knife!
			
			
			
				Thanks guys for the kind words!
FYI this one is currently available.
			
			
			
				Looks nice, Ben. Not too deep a spine on the trailing point, which I like.

				Yeah that is a great looking knife for sure.  One thing I get out of seeing it is that it begs to be USED.  That would be an awesome hip knife for a hog hunter.
You are a talented fellow for sure....as are a great many of the knife guys here.  I find myself wanting new knives every time I come here to check out the newest pics.
Thanks for posting it.

What does Trailing Point mean?

				your work is sweet - Admittedly I steel ideas from your knives a lot!  Yours and many others here as well.  I think the exposed tail will be going on a knife of mine soon.  Not sure if I will ever need too but it sure would make a great "Bonker" in the right situation!
