I have seen on this forum and others a knife design that I want to make. I don't know what the design is call so I will try to explain. The blade and handle are one sweeping curve. I'm guessing it is called a prop point. Where the blade meets the handle, the cross section of the metal is thin but the handle is very wide and rounded at the end. I hope I am explaining this well enough. Post a pic if you know what I am talking about.
it looks something like this but the handle would be much thinner. I hope this helps

I just call it a full tang like the top knife in the pic (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/barbjd/Lwolf/P4071470.jpg)
More like a drop point skinner? Doc

Doc,I like that top knife
Thanks Rick. That's the knife I gave Ray when we went hog hunting in SC. Ray's Dall Sheep horn for the handle. No blood yet...too cold back in March & I wasn't a good enough shot that weekend to bring home the bacon :)
who has that Arno Bernard knife, his son sells his knives at knifeshows, he is also a good supplier of exotic knife handle material
Thanks guys. This helps a lot.
