This a new design I just finished up. I am calling it the Bobber because of the sheeps foot design reminded me of a bobbed fender on old custom Harley's. The Oal is 6 7/8", with a 3 1/8" blade of L6 tool steel. The handle is black micarta with stealth carbon fiber pins per the customers request.
This is a very comfy design and If I ever get a chance, it will probably be what I make for my new edc.
Let me know you think!

Very cool!  I've been contemplating one very similar to that for a friend...this might just get me going on it.  Very good work, Ben!

Saw the title and wondered if there was a reference to the HD Bobber. Looks like that blade will get the job done!

really nice . love the handle . I would have slightly rounded the top angle of the blade for a smoother line just to have the lines flow .... nice round lines for the handle . the an angle at the blade seems out of place foe me. Love the  simplicity and style as always. great work.

i really like those semi-hidden pins! Very nice addition to a great pattern.

great knife for me it would have to have jimping for heavy cutting. i really like that profile .  i am hard on edc knifes they are made to use and not be pretty in my opinion and i use mine 15 or 20 times a day at my work.

Thanks JD, I need to get a checkering file for doing jimping. It looks so much cleaner than freehand. One more tool I guess!
