How about a listing of what some of the terms mean...tang, clip, etc...??? This way dummy's like me can learn and understand more about what ya'll are talking about.
I saw a pic of one of Doug's knives with a little circular notch cut out of the bottom edge near the handle....what's that called?
This could get interesting.
:campfire: :coffee:

That would be a choil.

Well you asked for it! That site has knife styles I've never seen before. A real course of study.
Good thread/post.
wow awesome post you could read stuff on there for days lol
OK...Choil....so what is a choil for???
Ah....just went to the link...what I was looking for is called a 'line cutter' I think.
Thanks.
Terry, I don't know what knife you were referring to but I'm guessing from your description that it was a Spanish Notch.
(Just copy and paste "spanish notch" into Google and click "images" in the left hand column.
I did....thanks...and those diagrams make it real easy.
